HARD DISK GUYS, explain this:
I put the GRiD's CONNER CP3104 (100MB drive) in K6 Desktop and I could not
get DOS to load onto it. I put it in a 486 machine (IDE not EIDE) and DOS
loaded fine.
I put a 402Mb Conner drive into thr GRiD and forced the geometry
using a setup program and I kept getting a BOOT DISK ERROR. WHY?????
Probably because it was formatted under a different geometry. I would
suggest fdisk'ing the drive (delete and re-create the primary
partition) on whatever computer you want to install it on, then re-format
it under DOS.
