*Booting prob with V5 IO*

My equipment is the V5 IO from HSN. No epoxy. Badflash Bios installed.
custom badflash cable with IBM 1.4gb drive and have win98 cabs on HD. I have already done an FDISK and formatted with /S.

I am not booting.. Take a look below...

Is this a common problem with V5 IO? I formatted my HD with /s and when I
boot up, I can get into the bios, see the master is my IBM HD and secondary
is the sandisk.

The drive selection is C only and I set the drives up as
auto-auto.

But when I reboot, it just freezes after the bios info:

Award Bios v4.51PG
I-Opener Bios v5.0.0. (Patched)
Rise mP6 - PR266 CPU Found
Memory Test 30720 + 2048k
Detected IDE Primary Master - IBMXXXXX
Detected IDE Primary Master - Sandisk

And just stops until I power down. Do I need to do a FDISK /MBR and
reformat with /S to fix this problem??

Please help.. I will try all suggestions.

Thx,

Teksavy (or not so savvy today)

Can you stick the drive in another machine? Does it boot there?

Probably the only other thing would be to make sure the cable is connected correctly, does the drive spin up when power is applied?

Go into the Bios and see if it recognizes the drive.

Also the drive should not have any jumpers on it (makes it master)
