More info?)
The drive has this interface
Ultra DMA 100 support (ATA-5)
I don't have any floppy with drivers for this HD
I only have the product recovery CD-ROM with the OS W2K
In order to use it I have to boot with a win 98 recovery
CD that try to copy some files in the HD but it cannot
recognize this NTFS unit.
That's the reason why I have to use the 4 install disks.
