I have just aquired one of these drives and have been trying in vain to install it as a slave to my maxtor 850mb drive. The problem is that I can get the drive recognised by my amibios but when I come to run fdisk it just hangs on the screen for creating Primary / extended partion. The drive makes a terrible noise, the green light on the drive is on all the time as is my drive light from my hard disk. I'm running a home built P75, intel triton motherboard, windows 95. Ive tried in a dos window, booting to safe mode command line and booting and using an old 6.22 fdisk programme. The disk was bought cheap (SUCKER :-( ) and ive probably got no come back with the vendor. It was as far as I can tell brand new and in its original packaging with the jumpers in their parked position. Any help gratefuly received. Mike Cattell, Christleton, Cheshire, U.K.
