#219169 - 21/06/2004 01:48 Maybe new FAQ amendment?
bjoern member Registered: 03/04/2002 Posts: 169 Loc: Regensburg, Germany	Just solved a "hard disk not found" error not covered in the FAQ. After testing each drive separately, I found that the jumper I used for the second harddrive had wiggeled so loose, it didn't make a good connection anymore (it had been runnning fine for about 6 months). Lacking a proper, tight jumper, I soldered the two pins together. Worked like a charm. So maybe add "check proper jumper connectivity" into the "hard disk not found" FAQ entry? _________________________ 32MB, serial: 10101626

Most instances of this problem have been traced down to a problem with the cable or the IDE connector.
