    30 Gig Fireball HD jumpers
    « on: January 31, 2007, 05:34:20 PM »
    Hello, I have a 30gig fireball hd, Quantum part # QMP30000AS-A
    The jumpers for cls- master-slave are not working as expected.
    We did get it to be reconized by fdisk and did C: 25 gig and D: the rest
    Problem is that it wont boot up to dos, just a black screen and flashing _ at the top.
    Dos from floppy boots ok, other hard drives, win 98 or Linux boot fine on other hard drives is ok.
    C: is set active and formated with win 98.

    Got me baffled, hate to scrap out the drive, planned to use it as a test drive
    Any help welcome

    I assume you mean you formatted Fat32 but did you SYS C: to transfer the MS-Dos operating system :-?

    Please give info on any other partitions/Operating Systems.

    Thanks
