So I've been having a strange issue with my 5170 when trying to set up the hard disk. The system is equipped with the Quatel BIOS and I'm running the original combined floppy / hard drive controller alongside an IBM WD-25 connected to the "C" position on the cable, and I can't seem to get the hard drive to function as "Drive 0".
Setting the Drive 0 type to 13 in BIOS (which is correct for the WD-25) results in a "Drive 0 Failure" error at startup and I get a 3780 error when trying to use the BIOS utility to scan for bad sectors or format the drive.
Setting Drive 0 to none and Drive 1 to 13 allows me to format and scan the drive with no issue, but still returns a "Drive 0 Failure" message at startup despite Drive 0 being set to none in the BIOS.
Anyone know what's going on here? Am I missing something obvious?
