Here is my problemo. I have a Compaq 2266 desktop.
I have a 4 gig hard
drive and a CDROM attached to it (obviously). I
purchased a 18 gig drive to
add on to it. Now the problem is, Compaq's
support is basically a bunch of
blubbering idiots (Compaq, please don't sue
me for slander!). I am having a
hell of a time trying to find the
correct jumper settings for my
pre-installed drive. Can anybody maybe
help me out or lead me to a good
starting point to find this out? I
know this is a hard question to answer
given the situation. The hard
drive is the master and the CDROM is slave.
What should my second hard drive
jumpers be at, and then what do I have to
do to the other IDE drives?
whew!!
I want to install Linux on a 6 gig partition on my new drive,
because due to
the amount of web design I do on my Windows side, space is
severely limited.

I had the exact same problem... Thing is, only a reformat of
the linux
partition and reinstall fixed it... Just booted up for the first
time
and everything worked great... configured itself i
guess...
