[-- Attachment #1 --] Sorry about that last message, I hit send by accident before I was finished. As I was saying: Hey everyone. I have a system with a Quantum Fireball ST 3.2 Gig Ultra-ATA hard drive. I've been booting my system with the boot floppy I made and have been reaching the configuration menu where I've disabled all the SCSI/network cards I don't need so that there are no conflicts. I've left enabled the regular IDE controller on wcd0, but at the hardware probe between the configuration mode and the setup program, the system can't find my hard drive. The IDE_CONF.EXE program also tells me that I have a "Non-compatible or missing Hard Disk Controller!" Ultra-ATA is completely backwards-compatible, so this is basically just an ATA drive and should work fine with the built-in ATA support. So, any ideas? - Dan Stillman [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.71.2016.0"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Sorry about that last message, I hit send by accident before I was finished.
