WHAT OPERATING SYSTEM ARE YOU USING ?
YOU MAY WONT TO FDISK AND REFORMAT IT,,BUT FIRST DID YOU CHANGE JUMPERS TO MAKE IT MASTER ?
DID YOU DETECT IT IN BIOS,,NOW TO TRY SYS THE THE NEW DRIVE,,YOU NEED A BOOTABLE FLOPPY WITH THE SYS.COM ON IT [SAME OPERATING SYSTEM]
BOOT WITH THE FLOPPY AND THEN AT THE A:
TYPE SYS [SPACE] C: AND HIT ENTER
IF IT WORKS SAYS SYSTEM TRANSFERED,,
NOW TRY TO BOOT OFF THE DRIVE,,
IF IT DON'T WORK AND YOU WONT TO CLEAN NEW DRIVE YOU ALSO NEED FORMAT.COM AND FDISK.EXE
ON THE FLOPPY IT'S LOCATED IN THE C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND DIRECTORY
BOOT WITH THE FLOPPY AND TYPE FDISK [HIT ENTER]
SELECT LARGE DESK SUPPORT THEN SELECT 3
HIT ENTER,,DELETE THE DOS PARTITION,,THEN SELECT 1 CREATE DOS PARTITION [HIT ENTER]
AFTER FINISHED SELECT 2 [MAKE PARTITION BOOTABLE.
NOW RESTART COMPUTER BOOTING OFF FLOPPY
AT THE A: TYPE FORMAT C:
THIS IS GENERAL INFO,,I DON'T KNOW OPERATING SYSTEM OR WHAT KIND OR SPEED OF YOUR COMPUTER..
IF YOU MESS UP IN FDISK TRY AGAIN,,IT DOESN'T HURT THE HARD DRIVE,,BUT NOTE IT DESTROYS ALL INFO ON IT.
NEED MORE HELP

: I meant that I will use drive copy to copy. I now have much bigger problems, and I think I will seek some professional help! After I thought I was going good,I installed and set up new dirve and ran drive copy and it finished. On bootup it said No OS. after several a: drive re-boots I got back to my old drive (In a dos-compatible? mode) and now the new drive simply says bad in drive copy. I cant seem to re-format it and don't know enough about DOS to try that. If you even remotely understand what has happened or have any advice please help!
