No, it doesn't. Stupid OS :-/

But the BIOS *does* recognize the hard drive?

Also, you mention jumpers -- do you have a main boot drive set up
already? And is it jumped to run as the master? In my experience "cable
select" options don't work very well. In such a case the other drive
has to be configged as the slave.


Yikes! I don't want to do it!

So the drive wasn't changed from factory default when you put it in? Hmm, my guess is that it was configured as a master unit, then. That would mean, probably, that you've got two different devices on the same IDE chain competing for "master" status.


You're going to have to do something to he hardware to fix that. Sorry. Fortunately it just means setting the jumpers so the new drive is set up to be the slave. That *ought to* take care of it.

PS: the sound seems to have broken too :-/

Oh dear. HW interrupts?

No, I didn't connect the _cable_ from the computer to the monitor.
I was too much paranoid :-/

I thought you meant the sound isn't working at all...
