Solve : Jumper Confusion? |
|
Answer» okay, not sure if these are right or not since its how I got it. Its a Seagate st351ax I found the manual here http://www.scribd.com/doc/246908/st351ax its an 18 pin config. But what I would like to know is if factory test should be on there an if I should keep the BUS reset low or not.I would leave the factory test disabled and set low. Is this drive giving you troubles?some what I think cause its set to be slave an not master just wonder so that I can set it right.I can change that, but I need this drive more or less. Also, it says acive light in the manual is that to see if the drive is moveing data or what?Any thoughts here? The drive spins but it doesnt see it at all for some reason.Dead drive...Quote from: patio on July 01, 2009, 06:46:12 PM Dead drive... Now now, let's not jump to conclusions, even when all the evidence points to that conclusion quite conclusively, with no real margin of error.Quote from: BC_Programmer on July 01, 2009, 08:01:29 PM Now now, let's not jump to conclusions, even when all the evidence points to that conclusion quite conclusively, with no real margin of error. My sarcasm meter has a bent needle....seems to work with the orginal unit. Just wondered so I can set it up, mite be hard ware spefic in such that it really wont work with any other machine. I really need this drive if possible here, cause I have one like it that I may find answer too as well.Double check your JUMPER configuration again. If the drive works then that's probably your problem.I will its kind of wierd cause its an eighteen pin jumper config instead of twelve, any rate it says acive light in the manual is that to see if the drive is moveing data or what?Active Light usually has an LED attached to it to SHOW flicker with communications same as with all computers HD LEDS. Is this drive and ISA HD Controller being stuffed into a newer motherboard in which you may need to point the bios boot order to this HD controller vs integrated IDE controllers etc or is the hardware SIMILAR age both without a keystroke accessible bios?ah okay, I cant say that it is since it use's IDE but its from a Tandy 100 RLX Harddrive. Ah still getting used to a lot of that but that should hopefully help here.It probably would have been extremely helpful had you mentioned in your original post that this was a HDD from a Tandy 100. You need to qualify your Posts with pertinent info so we don't sit here guessing about what the heck we're dealing with. Consider this down the road or i'll no longer even attempt to assist.I have other drives like it that arent even from these. Thing is that its not spinning in the tandy for some reason an I want to format this to put the os on it. But a newer machine doesnt have issue.What machine are you trying to put it into, some machines will not recognize this drive at all. For all intents and purposes it's only a paperweight with an ATX form factor. |
