Hi I had a working machine with a 3.2gb IDE hard drive on the primary and a
Sony DVD rom on the secondary. I removed the Sony drive and since then I've
been getting the error 1790 Disk 0 error. The BIOS now detects it as a
2110mb
drive and if I tried booting to DOS from floppy fdisk says it can't talk to
the
fixed disk. There is no way of setting the disk up in the F10 setup and I
have
no other setup disks what do I need to do to get it to change the drive
settings. Reply to group or email lid

Put my friends 10.2gb in the system and it detected the parameters correctly
same with a 6.8gb drive. I'm installing operating system on the 10.2gb now. The
original drive still gives 1790 with incorrect drive parameters.
