YOU DIDN'T MENTION IF IT WOULD DETECT IT IN BIOS
SET UP,IT HAS TO DETECT IT BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE CAN HAPPEN,
AFTER GOING IN BIOS SETUP,DETECTING THE HD,THEN FDISKING IT,, CREATING PARTITIONS,AND SETTING
FIRST PARTITION ACTIVE,, THEN FORMATTING AND
SYSTOMING IT THEN IT WILL WORK,
IF YOUR BIOS WON'T SEE THE HARD DRIVE,, THE BIOS
MAY BE TOO OLD,,A PENTUM 233 WOULD ONLY
[ SEE ] AN 8 GIG HD WITH OUT A BIOS UP GRADE OR
CHANGING OUT THE BOARD,WHICH WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA,,
UNDER$100 FOR MODERN BOARD THAT SUPPORTS ATA 100
WITHOUT USING AN ADD ON CARD,THEN YOU COULD USE
ONE OF THE NEW 60 GIG HD'S UNDER$200
