ok, my system is as follows:
Asus p2b mobo w/ p2 350
128mb ram
old 2gb quantum bigfoot HD
etc
Note: I am using an old 40-pin IDE cable
I bought a new 40gb Quantum ATA100 HD, but it doesn't ever get detected. depending on my jumper settings, sometimes the detection process just hangs, and sometimes no HD is detected. My IDE cable works fine with the old bigfoot HD, so its not busted. A friend told me that with the old 40-pin IDE cables, sometimes ATA100 drives don't work because of interference. Would my mobo and old HD still work with the new 80-pin cables?
Any other ideas on why I might be having problems?
