Re: Noob Question
This is the first report of v4.0.830 causing any problems on a 2000.
Yours is one of the v1 / SIMMs units with the lastest and last bios 1.2.180.
You were looking at upgraded the ram. V4 requires more ram than v3. Have you checked to see how much is free?
Do you have a 80 or 120 gig drive you can try?.......
Lets copy the 40 gig HD to one of your new drives. You will need Knoppix CD or the windows verson of dd.
Master = 40gig = hda
Slave = 300gig = hdb
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb BS=1024
You can add "count=40" at the end of the cmd to only copy 40 meg.
Re Install the 300 into the master position. Make sure you change the jumper to master.
boot, it should come up but report a file size error. Reports the size you copied.
then from debug issue "co de format 10000 /reinit" reboot
the formating process will start.
Generally if there is a problem it stops at 137gig.
