Hi folks,

I've almost solved my non-booting problem and am now convinced it's user rather than hardware that is the problem.

I can now boot my Pegasos, with the 30gb drive that was previously not working.

The problem now is as follows:
I have to HDs in my Pegasos. The one which was invalidated (now working) and another 10 gig drive.
With either drive connected, I can boot from CD and view the partitions but with both connected only the 30gb drive shows up.
Changing the jumper settings either seems to have no effect or gives me a blank screen.

I'm gueesing it's possibly a boot priority thing but have forgotten how to change that.
-EDIT-
Changed the boot priority on the 10gb drive to -1 and left the 30gb at 0. No joy.

a) not every combination of master/slave will actually work.
Set both as "master" and connect one to each IDE-channel.

b) having 2 partitions with the same (device)name can cause probs.
Make sure that you have only 1 "Workbench","Work" etc and make sure
the device-names ("DH0" etc) are all different.

"bootpri"

Start "SCSIConfig"
Select drive.
Hit "Partition"
Select partion with double-click.
Check the "Boot"-gadget
Set "priority"
Hit "ok"
Hit "ok"
Hit "save changes"

I'll try this tonight. Setting the 10gb drive to 'master' is trial and error, since it has no diagram.

These are different on each drive.

These are the same for both drives.
I'll change one to "HD0" etc, when I get home from work.
