Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
I need some help. I have a Quantum 2000 that has a single 20gb drive. I inserted a second drive in the empty position and it will not see the second drive. Can anyone tell me what I need to do that will make it see the second drive? It's only an 80gb so no issues with the 48bit LBA and, if I replace the original drive with the 80, it sees the 80 fine. Thanks.

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
Check your jumpers.
The drive a the end of the cable (front) is Master, the other slave (rear).

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
Now, here's a rather dumb question I guess. There looks to be 2 independent IDE channels. I connected one drive to the front (original) position and used anothre cable to connect the second to the port which is labeled IDE2. Should they both be attached to the first channel only?

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
You may have one of the newer model 2000. If that's the case, both drives need to be set as master. Your ram chip should be be a dimm chip. The older ones use a simms. If you would post the versions of your hw, bios, os.

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
It's the newer model with the DIMM which was quickly replaced with a 128MB. I got the first IDE channel to recognize both drives, but nothing seems to work on the second channel at all. Here are my digits:
SW 3.4.805 HW 2.0.0 Code Page 437 BIOS 2.0.282 Serial 46940 I just put the 3.4.805 on and once I connected both drives on the same cable, all seemed to be well. Just don't like that the second channel is not functioning. Thanks for the help. |

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
OK, There was a user seeking help several weeks ago had a 4000 that acted like a 2000 model. Was unable to reset the bios byte.
From the debug page issue the cmd " bios model " corrected cmd. A table pointing at the correct model 0 = 2 drives

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
The command is bios model
When you execute that command, you get a result returned Something like Code:
02/21/2006 17:02:32 Command: bios model Model Byte currently is: ==> 0 - 2 drive IDE: "Minnie" 1 - 1 drive IDE: "Mortie" 2 - 4 drive IDE: "Laser" 3 - 12 drive IDE: "Clipper" ------------ Command executed without error. Hope this clears it up Sam

Re: Quantum 2000 won't see second drive
rmoody,
These controller boards can also be used in the 4000's. And some users have done just that. But that a different ball of wax. Have you tried replacing the ide cable. Is your's 40 or 80 cond? My 2000 power connectors were pretty loose, I don't know if the heat cause this. It was the cause of one of my drives not spinning up. Are you using RAID 1? If so you could use dd to copy the image on the good hd to the second.
