Good evening (at least where I am) everyone,
I recently purchased a used Seagate ST-412 for my IBM 5160 which was in need of a replacement to the ST-225 that died awhile back. I installed said drive earlier today and powered the system up, the drive spun up with no problems that I can tell, and the LED blinked once for a split-second, then the system proceeded to boot into DOS 3.3 from the disk drive. I am not able to access drive C: through the usual commands, and when trying to run FDISK the LED blinks for a split second followed by "Error reading fixed disk". I am using a WD1002s-WX2 controller which came with the system instead of the original controller it would have came with. I guess the question to ask now is am I not doing something right whether it be how I installed it, how I've connected it, or something else? Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
