The Logic Off Topic list

You have to set the jumpers on the drive correctly and that relates to which
ide channel you put the drive on . I think seagate reccomend putting a
second hard drive on the secondary ide channel with the drive set as master
on that channel . With this computer, which has an old hard drive from daw
installed for some sims to be on , I had to tell the bios to look for the
second dive when I installed ,I think the auto refers more to not needing to
be told the drive parameters rather than just finding the new drive at first
boot . Seagate have a lot of info that I used when I installed the second
drive here .
                                               Good luck
                                                     Paul

Subject: [L-OT] Hard Drive Installation-Help!!


>   Hello everyone!! First let me apologize for this possibly to OT for the
OT list post. I'm trying to install a second hard drive in my internet
computer (actually it's a removable tray so I can use this computer to back
up our DAW tracks. I installed the removable tray and pulled the drive from
our studio p.c. and put it in the tray. When I booted up the system it
didn't notice anything...O.K. I thought I must have to tweak something in
CMOS. Nothing I do seems to make it notice my drive. Why? The motherboard is
a MSI 6163. The CMOS set-up is not very helpful either. I wish it was as
straight forward as the ASUS board I have. I had a problem installing other
things on this MSI board (I couldn't figure it out). I took it to a place
and he got it working. I have no idea what he did to get it working. Any
ideas? Everything in CMOS is set to auto. Auto works for the cdrom and 1st
hard drive. Why not this one?  Thanks!!

    Yes, this is how I have it set up.

    The second hard drive I'm tyring to install in the removable tray is an IBM Deskstar 60GXP. I guess I should pop open the tray and see if the info is on the drive that I need to imput in the bios. If the info is not there where could I find this out? I don't remember gwtting a lot of info when I bought the drive brand new:-(

     Thanks!!

Any caddy system I have seen like this has a security key feature. You have
to make sure that this is locked. This serves the dual purpose of locking
the drive so it cant be pulled out when in use and also send power to the
drive (you CAN lock/unlock this while machine is running if you want as it
is designed to be used in a RAID system....)

Sorry if this seems really dumb, but I got caught out with a caddy system at
work like this, thought the whole system had gone south before I realised my
error.

You have tried the drive out of the caddy but otherwise setup the same?
