I tried changing the cables, changing options from the BIOS, for DMA, PIO and their modes but nothing helped. I have a 4.3 Gb Seagate hard-disk with a VIA mother board. I am running on an Intel Celeron 433Mhz processor. The strangest thing is that' the same hard disk if i use on another machine' it has no problems whatsoever. So there's no problem with the hard-disk. I think. I don't know what to do. Even there is no technical reply from any other people from other mailing lists, as to, what the real problem is. What do i do now?
