I used Seagate Seatools to copy everything to the new drive but it didn't do anything with the boot record so it won't boot off the new drive.

Dunlap 3-Dec-03 16:00  I determined that the answer to may problem below was that the BIOS was not recognizing the hard disk correctly - not that the hard disk was bad. So, since I had an extra IDE card available, I decided I would use that instead of trying to look for an updated BIOS for my mainboard, I would use that. The IDE card's BIOS recognised the HD and its correct size. Only problem is, I haven't been able to boot from or access the primary HD, which is attached to it. I've achieved this "feat" before, but I don't remember how to do it now. I disabled the onboard IDE, but no luck. Any ideas?

John M. Drescher3-Dec-03 17:09 John M. Drescher 3-Dec-03 17:09  You have to tell the bios to use the external card first in the boot order. This setting is probably SCSI adapter or something like that. John Problem Solved! J. Dunlap6-Dec-03 9:16 J. Dunlap 6-Dec-03 9:16  Got a new mainboard.

What I need to do is schedule the task under a specific log on account other than system or administrator account. Any ideas/suggestions will be graetly appreciated. Thank you in advance Alberto Gattegno Software Engineer http://www.itgil.com Re: AT command in NT workstation using specific logon Roger Wright3-Dec-03 4:31 Roger Wright 3-Dec-03 4:31  This[^] may be helpful. I haven't tried it, but perhaps a combination od RUNAS and AT will do the trick. If not, try stuffing the AT command in a .bat file and using RUNAS to execute it. "Your village called - They're missing their idiot." Re: AT command in NT workstation using specific logon tdZ804-Dec-03 4:07 tdZ80 4-Dec-03 4:07  can't be done. you can have the task interact with the desktop of the logged on user, but no 'run as' in 4. can you use the newer "task scheduler" that is installed with IE 6? then you'll have the opportunity to use an account of your choice. Hard Disk Trouble J. Dunlap2-Dec-03 21:50 J. Dunlap 2-Dec-03 21:50  My dad's primary hard drive, a Maxtor 40GB drive, has developed numerous bad sectors (possibly a bad cylinder?). So, we went off to the local Fry's, and bought an 80GB Western Digital (annoyingly loud, BTW). Brought it home, put it in as primary slave. Booted it up, and the PnP BIOS's automatic hard disk detection (which runs on each boot) froze up when it got to the "slot" that that drive was on. Removed all the other drives except for the old main drive, which stayed the primary master. Tried every jumper and cable configuration that was feasible (SM/Master, SM/Cable-Select, PS/Slave, PS/Cable-Select) - still froze up w/ the auto-detection. Tried w/ it as PM w/ no other drives on the system (not even the old PM), w/ both Master and CS jumper settings - still no luck. :bang-head: It's not like just the auto-detection didn't work - it didn't show up at all, not from the command line or anything. FYI, this is a fairly old system (Pentium II, PC100 RAM, Mfg around the time Win98 1st Ed. came out), and doesn't support large drives (over 8.4 GB), but twice (including once w/ this same system) I've successfully used overlay software to circumvent this. But it likely isn't due to a mobo failure, as the other drives are detected just fine. Any ideas? Anything to try? I've already returned defective parts to Fry's 4x in the last month or so, so I'm a little bit to do it again - makes me look like a klutz - even though I've built lots of systems before.

If it's a single drive system, no jumper is used. If a dual, the first drive must be jumpered as Master, and the second as Slave. I've heard that some systems use CS, but I've never seen one. It may be a problem with the interface - the new drives are UltraATA66/100, and may not be detectable by an older BIOS. Check for an updated BIOS from the MB manufacturer. I assume that it already has LBA enabled, as the previous drive was 40GB, but you might want to verify that. Have you tried the WD EZDrive software that comes with the HD yet? I hate it, but it does sometimes make the installation easier. If all else fails, you may be able to manually set the drive parameters in the BIOS using type 47 ( IIRC ) for the drive type.

Try flashing in a new updated BIOS. Re: Hard Disk Trouble J. Dunlap3-Dec-03 15:48 J. Dunlap 3-Dec-03 15:48  It was the BIOS. I'm trying to bypass the BIOS by using an PCI IDE card. Working so far - the IDE card's BIOS recognizes the drive and its correct size, but I can't boot from it. See my post on that above.

What program are you using to burn the CDs? What errors are you seeing? What OS are you running? Have you checked for recent driver updates? Is the drive on the LPT port, or USB? Other?

Windows 98SE and XP networking -- NA --29-Nov-03 3:10 -- NA -- 29-Nov-03 3:10  I have two machines here, XP and 98SE, and (not surprisingly for 98) I have a network hassle. The XP machine can browse the 98 machine no problem, but when I try and open the XP machine in the 98's Explorer it asks for a password for IPC$. This is irritating, because I'm logged in as the same user on both machines, with correct privs, and 98 doesn't allow you to type in a username. Any advice?
