Go and get EZsetup Ver 7.? which normally comes with a new Connor hd run
the setup utility which creates a low level and high level partition
When complete boot from a floppy and run fdisk /mbr from the floppy. At tis
point you should only have a bootable hard drive without any software. If
this dosn't work the drive is NO good . If EZsetup cannot setup your drive
then it is toast
