Conner CFS1275A problems
hi
does anyone still have a conner cfs1275a hard drive please On Monday, 17 July 1995 08:00:00 UTC+1, wrote: Hi there, Just bought the other day a Conner HD model CFS1275A with 1.259 MBytes capacity. I connected it to my 486DX2 system and tried within it's AMIBIOS setups to make it active. But everything was vain... The autodetection couldn't see it. Even if I manually put in the Cyl, Hds, Sectors numbers nothing good happened. I put it as a slave with a 205 Western Digital as a master and there was two error messages : Hardware failure, or disk error. I also installed an E-IDE controller, I thought maybe the IDE I had was an old type, but nothing happened. Trying to use FDISK on it to do partitioning and then to format it, the FDISK some times was seeing a 211 drive, some others a 504 drive and other times nothing at all and it crashed the whole system... So, now I've got a 1 Gbyte hard disk and don't know how to make it work with the system. From the shop I bought it they gave me a utility named EZ (supposed to customize or trick the BIOS about the 1 Gig drive) but it also couldn't do anything good. If there's anyone who can help, please e-mail me.
