i got my seagate barracuda IV 80 gig today
i CANT boot off it unless i manually set it to LBA mode in the BIOS. other than that i can read and write normall in auto mode (which seems to be CHS mode) partition magic shows the "1024 cylinder boundary" to be really small.. like less than 2 gigs when it is set to auto, and tells me i cant boot from it when i set it to LBA the 1024 cylinder boundary greatly increases. and partition magic no longer gives me errors. i have tried installing from cd, and after the writing is done to the drive, then a reboot, i cant boot. i have tried using partition magic to copy my existing boot drive to it, but i still cant boot. simply going into BIOS and settin the drive to LBA mode fixes it. MY QUESTION IS: for those of you with these drives, did you have to do the same thing? or is something screwed up here? |

you've probably screwed the jumpers or something, we put them in most of the machines we sell at work, there are like 50 of them inside 20 metres of me. We just connect them up, and they work...

The system I am typing on right now runs off a 40 gig Seagate Barracuda IV. No such problems over here, man.

thanks guys... seems to have been partition magic that screwed up the drive.
not sure what happened, but i switched it over to LBA mode, giving me a larger 1024 cylindar boundary.. formatted it.. then switched it back to auto (chs). now everything is workin fine, and the 1024 boundary is showing to be good. normally i dont touch partiton magic, but it was the only thing i had at the time that could dupe an NTFS partition. you dont know how frustrating it is trying to trouble shoot computer problems, when you need the computer to design a college network from the ground up, and you need it the next day ![]() oh an no jumper has been changed.. its been set to master since i got it. thanks again guys |

well there are a few things, if you can change the port that it operates on... then do that
or if you can get a box on the outside of the firewall, you can put a box there, and a box right after your computer and do a port tunneling basically it takes all of your traffic and transmits it to the outside box on a single port... the outside box then redoes teh traffic back to what you were originally transmitting |
