| tried a lot of things.
used the maxtor drive as:
primary master single and slave
Secondary master single and slave
even swapped the IDE cables on the motherboard. Checked and changed
always the jumpers.
But getting "...hard disk fail". Bios recognizes as "Maxtor Draco"
and the IBMs drive as "IC06035AVER07"
New details from IBMs Drive Fitness Test on Maxtor's Draco says:
Primary Master/Slave Maxtor Draco 10,25 GB (although it's a 40,9 GB
hdd)
ATA-5
Cache 2097 KB
Ultra DMA: Highest Mode: 4, Active Mode: None
Write Cache: enabled
read look-ahead: enabled
S.m.a.r.t. options: disabled
security feature not swapped
regards,
