1140.6RE24L-E Jumper settings?ODIXIE::ZOGRANAny day now....Fri Mar 28 1997 16:3714
    I was just given a RE24L-E 245MB drive to slap into my Celebris 590. 
    Two chips on the bottom of the drive lead me to believe that it's a
    Quantum.

    I tried to put it in in various configs, but the system doesn't seem to
    recognize it as anything but a master drive on IDE Channel 1.  My other
    drive is already a Master on 0.

    Are there jumper settings that need to be set (reset)?  And on what
    cable would it be best to put the drive?

1140.9Still doesn't see itODIXIE::ZOGRANAny day now....Fri Mar 28 1997 20:248
    It sets up in the CMOS but W95 doesn't recognize it.  Adding new
    hardware wizard doesn't see it either.  I know its got to be something
    simple, any suggestions?
    
    I re-jumpered the existing disk according to the specs on the disk.  I
    removed the jumper from the new one.

Did you fire up FDISK from a DOS box? 
Does FDISK see it?

If not, hardware/configuration problem.
If so, you probably just need to partition it and format it.

If not partioned and formated, W95 or DOS will not recognize it.

1140.11Autodetect?JULIET::HARRIS_MANetworks Sales ExecMon Mar 31 1997 16:589
    Worst case, did you Control Panel/ADD New Hardware/Detect AFTER
    you set the jumpers correctly? This has seemed to jump-start
    Windows-95 to talk to drives that otherwise do not show up in Control
    Panel/System/Device Manager/Disk Drives.
    
    Also, (as mentioned in -1) IF Device Manager sees it, you need to
    FDISK/FORMAT the drive to make it VALID MEDIA.

1140.12Its there, but..ODIXIE::ZOGRANAny day now....Mon Mar 31 1997 18:576
    Got the system to recognize it after the FDSIK routine.  However, all
    data sent to it (copies of files) gets corrupted.  Any other parameters
    to be set up either during startup or in W95?  The "Add new hardware
    routine"  has yet to detect the disk.
