INSTALL IDE DISK ON NETSERVER 5/100 LH

[Mario Ivan]

My SCSI disks are too olds and have problems. I want to install IDE disks to install Linux.

For tests, I put a 3.2GB HD, configuring EISA utility for type = 40 and put the informations that the HD have. I make this with other two disks and even the same error occurs:

Error code 1E1E. What I need to make to install these IDE
HD's ?

I already put another flat cable.

Can I install large HD's (60GB) in the server ?

Thanks

Mario

1e1e = Failure while attempting to read a sector on a hard disk drive.
Only thing I can think of that you haven't metioned, is making sure the jumpers on the drives are correct. Don't set your drive to master if you're using a cable select cable, etc. Larger hdd's may work. The sector translation on this controller is LBA, however, so the most it will see is 8.4gb

I recently accuired a couple of HP NetServers 5/100 LH and a 5/75 LH. I need to find the utilitys CD for them and I am not having any luck.
