Just depends what your bios is and your operating system. I have had
many problems with this, update the bios first then go from there.

Download and use "Ezdrive". I use it on my Solo2300 with a 20GB drive,
and it works great. Actually I used a self extracting File called
"Ezdrvsma.exe", but the program itself is called Ezdrive. So the links
below should work. If not, drop me aline and I will send you my file.
