Hi,

What do you mean "it does not allow me to fdisk"?
Are you getting an error message?
What are you trying to do, remove or create a partition?

Is the drive's master/slave jumper setting properly set?

dear admin
i am actually unable to fdisk it because not any message i had checked the jumpers and ide cable but the problem is still there although i had send a letter to seagate and they say that it migh be problem with the bios even if i had test it on 845GL motherboard with P4 processor
kindly give me a clue......
waiting for reply

Hi,

If FDISK returns that it cannot find a fixed disk, then the BIOS may not be translating the hard drive parameters because it is old. In this case, I would look for a BIOS update for that motherboard so large drives are supported.

If you give me the make and model of your motherboard I will look it up.
