Hi everyone,
I´ve tried to replace my Fujitsu MPG 3409 AH-EF (40GB, 7.200 rpm) on the HPT366 with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (80GB, 7.200
rpm).
I wanted to move the HD content to the new disk and connected it in addition to the old drive. On the standard IDE, the unpartioned drive is recognised (but wrong capacity- ~10 Gigs), Win2K boots and the new drive is present in the device manager.
On the HPT366 the disk is recognised by the controller BIOS (wrong size again) and the system hangs during bootup. Setting the 32GB-clip jumper has no effect. Booting into safe mode doesn´t work (hangs).
I don´t want to use the drive on the standard IDE (too slow), and all my PCI slots are already in use. AFAIK the HPT366 should be able to handle 80GB drives. Is there a known incompatibility between the Seagate HD and the HPT366?
Best regards,
Wolfram

Not yet. Shouldn´t it work without partitioning? It _did_ work on the standard IDE, and though it´s been a while since my last HD install, I think that´s usual. But then... what´s usual with this controller? I will try again with partitioning that after Pentecost.Derek wrote:Have you tried to partition it? Check the jumpers again, and test the hard drive in another computer.
I had asked for help in a german newsgroup before, and some guy told me he had had troubles with his BP6 especially with IBM DTLA drives (no DMA, BSODs, very slow), while other large drives worked fine.

I´ll check that, too. Thanks.hyperspace wrote:That newer driver set may have support for larger hard drives.
I personally don't know if this is true...

Thanks for your advice. But I finally decided to return the Barracuda to the store. I do not really need that additional space, and I noticed the access time is slower than the Fujitsu´s (15 instead of 13ms), which is more important to me than a high transfer rate.
