If your computer does not restart and none of the devices work,
the interface cable connector might be connected backwards. To
check the connection:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Disconnect the IDE cable from the drive.
3. Verify that the colored wire is connected to pin 1 on the
drive connector and is the closest wire to the 4-pin power
connector. Some connector are keyed and will only fit one
way. Do not force the connector onto the pins. If the
connector does not seem to fit, reverse it and try again.
4. Restart the computer.
If your computer appears to stop during restart, the problem is
probably caused by your BIOS. To solve the problem, access
your configuration information, disable Auto Detect, and select
Manual Setup. Set heads to 16, sectors to 63, and cylinders to
less than 2048. Then go to “Correcting BIOS Limitations and
Partitioning Using Disk Manager” on page 2-15.
For information about installing system upgrades, see the
documentation that comes with your computer. Look for topics
about system setup or system configuration.
