Why not unhook off the promise card and hook it to an IDE , see if it recognized. Lost 2 so far myself, only way I know to check them. Even can try it in a different machine.
Hope you get it figured out.

When I worked for a computer repair/sales store we would test for free as it only takes a minute and we stood the chance of selling a new one. I'm willing to bet most stores would do this.

What does the Card do that hooking it in the reg way does not

Also have you tried going to the makers site and getting the same software if you dont have it that lets you format your HD

usually ethier that or the site has Diagnostic software that lets you test the HardDrive
So you really know if it works or not
So then you can just send it back AND
use a Credit Card to get 1 Faster in 2-3 Days

Then send your OLD 1 back and you wont get charged cause Most HD's have 3 year replacement warenty's

TRY it thats what i did 4 my maxtor

CHECK YOUR JUMPER SETTINGS!!!!!!

If you have changed it to a secondary master/slave etc it will not work properly...check the jumpers at the back

Bads 1. I just had a hd do the same thing as yours except the computer wouldn't boot with it hooked up--not even with a dos boot diskette. Tried everything. Finally replaced it, and I guess the data is lost. Fortunately I had most of it backed up on cdr's.

Did you check that one harddisk was set to 'master' (the one at the end of the cable) and the other one to 'slave' (in the middle)?

Look for a description of how to do this on a picture on the harddisk or your harddisk's manual.

Also check if the red side of the cable was connected to pin 1 of the harddisk.
