New harddrive install problems
Hi I'm unable to install a new HDD on my system. It is a master connected to the 2nd IDE w/o any slaves, I'm running 2k SP4 w/ LBA enabled. The HDD is 160GB and when I try to write a signature to it in order to create a partition I get a system error:
Source: LDM EventID: 2 Description: Unspecified error (80004005). Please help... |

Go to the hard drive manufacturer's web site and download the diagnostic utilities and test the hard drive.

Does your bios support large LBA over 137 gigs?

Hi guys, thanks for the replies... I coudnt run the diagnostics because it requires a floppy drive which I dont have... (maxtor).
I would assume my mb supports largeLBA because it displays the correct size in the BIOS. Funny thing is that it only displays the drive size but no info about it (heads, cylinders etc...). I'm likely going to find the mb as the culprit on this one because it usually gives me headaches... (Gigabyte GA-7VRXP)... |
