Hi, I have a big trouble with PegasosII.
The problems are in HDDs.
I connect Fujitsu2.5" as secondary (master) IDE via 40 pin cable,
and Quantum3.5"(slave) and NEC DVD-RV(master) as primary IDE via 80 pin cable.

The problem: both HDD have R/W errors some times, so I can't propertly install MorphOS
on them.

Both work fine on PC and Amiga, but on Peg2 cannot.
Format under Ambiend with full check - is OK.
But after that I have errors when install the OS, read/write files.
When, sometimes, the OS was succesfuly installed - it can't bootup after day or two.

I tried to change the maxtransfer without any changes.

The system can bootup from HD only if it on secondary IDE,
but from CD just if it primary master.

I get my peg2G4 from the Vesalia at the and of May, it firmware have blue 'b'.

The system bootup from cd without any problems.
The Quantum 1.7Gb have initial seek every reset.

What I do wrong???

Which drive are you trying to boot from?
if it is your secondary ide drive, why not switch the 2.5 with the 3.5?

put the Quantum 3.5 as primary.

maybe this might help???

also When I formatted my drives I did not use the format with check option


Maybe someone else has the answers...

You should definitely use 80pin cable for all your HDs!

todi is right ... I first try a Pegasos with regular 40-pin and got only R/W errors. Bought 80-pin cables and it fixed the problem right away.

Or perhaps one of your drive is causing problems? Did you try unplugging them 1 by 1 and see if the errors were still happening?

Hope it helps,
Fred

40 conductor cables are *NOT* supported at all!

When write Another users, You must use 80pin cable for connect Hdd.
