Fujitsu MPG3204AT, 20GB drive will not POST, WHY?
I've been trying to get this drive to be recognized by my Biostar board. It
will hang the POST showing nothing when connected to the PRImary IDE controller as MASTER. If it's on the SECondary IDE the POST will progress fine, and the system goes on and identifies the drives... Any thoughts? Thanks Andrew

Every single one that my company installed has now failed. These drives use a Cirrus Logic Arm chip that the maker encapsulated in a wrong type of epoxy resin. It becomes conductive over time shorting out the chip. There are law suites going on all over the world against Fujitsu because of it. http://www.classactioncounsel.com/fu...litigation.htm http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/27926.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/27871.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/27112.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/28384.html

The partition is not set active and/or the jumpers are incorrectly set.
