ultra 10 hard rive question
Hi there,I have an ultra 10 and I had to change the hard drive. Is there some way to tell if the system sees the new drive? Do I have tell it somehow that it has a new drive or will it just see it when it boots?Thanks

Hello,
I had to change the hard drive. Is there some way to tell if the system sees the new drive?
Yes, probe-ide at the ok-prompt should list the detected drives (hd, cd-rom).
This is a sample
ok probe-ide
Device 0 ( Primary Master )
ATA Model: ST38420A
Device 1 ( Primary Slave )
Not Present
Device 2 ( Secondary Master )
Removable ATAPI Model: CRD-8483B
Device 3 ( Secondary Slave )
Not Present
If it's an additional drive boot with boot -r.

Hi there, Yes, thank you... I replaced that hard drive and it solved the problem. It was showing up on the PC just not on the ultra so I figured it was some config issue but that wasn't the case I put in another drive and it was fine. Thanksken
