I can't seem to connect to the net on safemode.
It won't let me create a PPoE and a permanent connection doesn'T appear when I create one while having the router plugged in. Hence i couldn't run the online scan again.
Checked out my jumping:
I put down my WD as primary with slave again (middle column)
My maxtor Diamond Ultra 16 has model number 6L300RO on it.
I found different jumper setting according to different sources:
Website model number jumper setting brings me to Style A2:
jumper settingsif you notice, the diagram and the explanations are incoherent with each other. And it is nothing like
On the actual drive: Says no jumper required for slave.
and the booklet that came with it says: Style A1 (ncludes DiamondMax 16)
the diagram is pretty much like
this one with the exception that there is no jumper on the slave position, and they seem to put one down with the loner and the inexisting pin.
Style A2 (which physicaly resembles what I have on my hard drive, but is said to be for DiamondMax Plus 9)
has the loner top pin covered by an permanent solo jumper.
I presently have no jumper besides the solo permanenent one, but am considering implementing what the website's diagram shows and put a pin over J48/J50. Alas I can't find a jumper right now.
Here's the everest info on my hard drive.
