How does the drive appear in fdisk? Is it partitioned and set active properly?
Peter Kaulback In the hour of 11:26 PM 09/02/2003 -0500, Jeff Dougherty spoke this:
My apologies.
It is set to 47, there is no 48.
It still detects no C:\ drive
Thank you for the reply.

As I recall, the general designation for a self-defined drive was 47, not 48. If
you have the drive type and size, you should be able to look up the specs for it
and
set that in the bios. (older systems did not always have auto define on the
drives.
Once this is set, you should be able to see the drive in the bios and from the
prompt as well.
