The drives checked are all Seagate 80 gb The original hard disk was working for years with the 80 conductor cable, correctly mounted - blue end on mobo, hard drive at the end, set as master. Only after I checked with another similar hard disk that the problem started. I have tried several 80 conductor cables and none work. All the drives are recognized without exception when using the 40 conductor cable. I have been using computers since CP/M days and assemble my own when required but this has got me stumped. I am very happy at the enthusiastic response from so many of you but the explanation still eludes :-( -- ClueLess
