Can you get your hands on another brand drive? Fugitsu had firmware incompatibilities
in their old drives for some boards and chipsets/IDE controllers. Wasn't the drivers
fault, and I never found an answer for the systems I worked on accept going to a
WD, Maxtor or Seagate drive.
Of course, it was never officially acknowledged, but a lot of drives went back, including
the ones I had purchased to build systems with in the middle to late 90's.
Did you verify that all of the parameters were correct in the BIOS as it pertains
to the drive? You also may have to zero out the drive and start over, if it "is"
a drive issue. On the other hand, you could have issues beyond just the hardware
or a combo of hardware and software.
Isn't old stuff fun to work with!?? LOL
