lets see if i understand set up.
internal bus 0 device id 0, new 9.1 gig hard drive
internal bus 0 device id 0, old 1 gig drive
internal bus 0 device id 3, cdrom drive (although you say you put
everything to id 0)
if above correct then new drive has a spin up delay which lets you boot
to old drive because there is no conflict, once new drive spins up, they
fight for the right to be drive 0
later msg states removal of old full height drive (approx. 5-6 inch
tall) - i'm trying to figure where it fit in computer
without model number at hand; if it was a full height drive it may of
had resister packs for termination
(like early 40 meg drives)
You need to try drive manufacturers web site for specs/setup on both drives
Which drive are you booting from?
Also check for computability issues between processor upgrade and hard drive.
What are system requirements for game? are video (and vram), processor
speed, physical memory requirements met?
Name of game?
