Hi there!
I wanted to install a new drive (Maxtor harddrive) in a pc which doesn't
work.
I un-installed the old drive and put the new one into the computer. When I
restarted the computer, all lights at the tower flashed and nothing more
happend.
The computer boots only when I install the old drive as master. I looked if
there is any kind of bios (e.g. compaq) on the drive, but there wasn't. I
think, I installed it right, but why does the machine only boot with a
diskette? I wrote a new MBR, but it didn't help.


Regards,

MAD
