Hi;  I am having a problem installing a ST225 MFM HD on a 286...
 
I installed the board.  Attached the 2 floppies.  No problem it boots from
the floppy.
 
I configure the CMOS for one hard drive of type 2 (Award BIOS) and reset.
The memory counts up, both floppies initialize, but the hard disk sits there
going beep-beep, beep-beep... almost like it is caught in a loop trying to 
access some kind of data...
 
This hard drive worked about a month ago in an old-old-old XT...
 
I thought someone might have an answer of even a guess.
 
Thanks in advance.

Duane
