You're so young.

I remember 8" floppies.
I remember when $10 for a box (10) of 5-1/4" floppies was a good buy.
I remember when 3-1/2" floppies were introduced.
I remember when my boss added a very expensive 10Mb hard-drive to my Mac.

I'm so old.

:eek:
 
Dean?

I remember carbon paper as a storage system. Then an asteriod hit the earth and the great reptiles died. It was very sad.
 
Still here, only with my 20gig and my 5gig slave... I dont know why it dosent want to identify the 160gig with its card. I need databases on my 5gig to work cause of school work and I dont want to disconnect it. If I cannot get my box back up I am up a creek with out a paddle.

I will have to figure it out tomorrow. I kinda want to surf right now.

I can remember when my old TI 99-4A was a hot system!
Commodore 64's and 128's!

I have more RAM in my current system than Total RAM and storage space on my first 5 computers combined!

Kids today just don't know how well they have it!

LOFLMAO

I remember having a old comp and having to download a utility from the HD manufacturer because the stuff on the motherboard didn't support the larger capacity drives.

I'm no expert though.

What's this got to do with khukuries? Everything.

Don't know what you've done, but here's a few ideas:

Prob not necessary if you have an add-on card for the new drive,
but if using the onboard ide ports:
Go into hardware Setup when you boot the computer,
usually press Del during boot to access Setup.
Make sure the ide port you have the 160 on is enabled in Setup.
Once in Windows:
Check Device Manager to see if the card & disk are both recognized
& installed properly.
Did you run the manufacturer's -format- utility on the disk?
Or run FDISK from DOS
(if avail on your system, I'm still running Win98)
Make sure there's a primary / bootable partition set up after format.
If it seems to be a card problem,
try moving it to another slot if possible.
Check ribbon cable orientation on both ends.

Good luck.
 
Cruising the BBS on 300 baud? 1200 baud was flying!
TRS80 was state of the art?
Doin' it all in DOS?

Ah yes... the Commodore and Apple. Who'd have thunk we'd be here in 15 years?

Some old motherboard BIOS chips have trouble with anything over 106 (?) GB. You may need to download a BIOS upgrade and install it.
