Hi folks,
New to the forum. First post. Had the d8b for years.
300Mhz version. O.S. 5.1. It was in storage, I thought I'd dust it of to re-integrate it.
Switch it on, get video. BIOS works. Inspected the settings to insure they are correct.
Won't boot from HD. Gets to a point. Resets. Same place every time.
After the prompt, 'press DEL for BIOS', I get a screen of information that disappears too quickly for me to see it before it resets. Get's stuck in that cycle until I switch it off.
With a different HD, prior 'Clone', same result.
Got an CF card to IDE convertor with a 4GB card. Bios detects the card as Primary Slave, not Primary Master, irrespective of jumper settings. So I can't install to CF to bypass any possible HD issue.
Any ideas?
