Dear all,

I'm having some problems with my Western Digital Caviar 21200 (1.2 GB - =
IDE). After wiping it with a tool called 'Format Secure', I now have =
some problems to use it normally. At bootup, the BIOS hd-scan takes =
about 40 secs longer than usual. It seems that BIOS is having some =
problems recognizing it correctly. After that long period the system is =
booting up Win98 normally from the first hd on primary IDE channel and =
the Caviar is also present under Win98 after that. I am also able to =
copy data on it without problems. But if I make it the only hd in the =
system, I'm not able to make it bootable by trying to install DOS or =
using the command 'sys c:' (COMMAND.COM is reporting an overflow error =
after bootup and DOS setup says, that it is unable to copy files on it). =
What I have also tried already is to fix the problem by using 'fdisk =
/mbr' and write a new MBR to it. Creating of a new partition is also =
possible and formatting too. I don't know what else to do ... nothing =
seems to work.

Does anyone experienced similar problems and can provide me a solution ? =
Help ist very appreciated ;-)

Tell me if more information is needed.

Sorry for my poor english.

ad THANX vance,
