Fujitsu Stylistic 1000 won't recognize toshiba HDD (modified 0 times) mezman Profile | Email THe funny thing is, the unit won't even turn the screen on. or do any thing unless the original fujtisu HDD is installed. I had unfortunately completely screwed up the original disk and was going to install win98se on the Toshiba 2G drive I purchased. The sad thing is I even had wireless networking working under win95 on the original installation! Then dummy decided to clean things up a bit! UUUUGHH!!! Does any one know what makes the Fujistu drive diffent? Thanks, mezman 07-27-2002 07:48:32

RE:Fujitsu Stylistic 1000 won't recognize toshiba HDD (modified 0 times) YouBecha Profile I will go through the basics and assume the drive is plugged in correctly, the jumpers are where they need to be on the drive the drive is formatted and the bootable partition is marked active, the drive actually spins up when you turn on... I will also assume that you have a smaller than 2 gig partition on the drive that you boot from, or even smaller depending on how old the bios is. If it is an OLD drive it may take too much juice to spin up. I would also check to see if the new drive actually works in another computer. This happened on mine (1200) until I lied to the bios about the heads/sectors/cyls etc. See the thread about Large HDs. http://www.geocities.com/mr_bubba_zanetti/ 07-29-2002 12:50:32

RE:Fujitsu Stylistic 1000 won't recognize toshiba HDD (modified 0 times) mezman Profile | Email The HDD I'm talking about is a toshiba 1.8-inch PC card ATA drive. I used this drive initaly to transfer the win95 CD image so I could get the system files needed to do the wlan installation (before my screw up) when the Fujitsu drive was working. So I know the toshiba drive works. I used partition majic on my laptop to partiion a 1.2MB and 760MB partitions. Now I did not set the active partiion on this drive yet...but..Like I said initially, with the toshiba drive plugged into the stylistic 1000 the screen does not even give me the fujitsu banner! Here is the funny part: I get the banner without any HDD plugged in! So then after I get the FJ banner I pressed the Toshiba HDD into the HDD card slot and now it does the normal stuff like memory test and pen initialization and the option to get to the BIOS screen. The BIOS even recognizes it as a 2G drive with the correct sectors heads and cylinders! But the question still remains, why won't the ST1000 do anything with this drive plugged in as power is applied? 07-29-2002 19:11:12

RE:Fujitsu Stylistic 1000 won't recognize toshiba HDD (modified 0 times) Dale746 Profile Is this a Type III drive? or is it a toshiba version of the IBM Microdrive? I have booted the ST 1000 from Fuji Type III HDDs, Callunacard Type III HDDs and IBM Microdrives, but the ST 1000 would not boot from a hard drive in a Type II PCMCIA enclosure. I think that IF the drive were formated correctly and of the right type, the ST 1000 would boot or you would get a message from the ST 1000 that it couldn't boot from the drive, meaning that the ST 1000 SEES the drive but can't boot from it (I have had this happen to me with a Ghosted drive that seemed okay but wasn't). Just because the drive is USABLE to transfer files and is recognized when placed into a pcmcia slot on a desktop or laptop, this does not mean that the drive is BOOTABLE nor does it mean that the drive can be booted from without drivers first being loaded to recongize it. I think I saw this Toshiba drive on ebay, are these Type II drives of 1GB? Prehaps these drives need drivers loaded for them before they can be booted from, meaning that the ST 1000's bios will not allow you to boot from these drives. 07-29-2002 19:45:09
