Home / Other I-Appliances / Virgin Webplayer Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5" hard disk

Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5" hard disk (modified 0 times) jayklm Profile I have been having trouble with a Toshiba 6 gig 2.5” drive. Bios sees the drive correctly. I ran fdisk in windows98. The partition is set active. The drive does boot from a laptop. The problem is when I plug the drive in to the WP, all I get is a blinking cursor at the top of the screen after the bios memory check I was able to boot off of a Hitachi 3 gig 2.5” drive and an IBM 80MB drive. Is there something I am over looking? Install drive in working laptop --> Fdisk --> Active --> format /s --> Install in WP --> Checked BIOS --> reboot --> blinking cursor after memory check. I used the same procedure for the Hitachi and IBM drives with success. The Toshiba drive is: MK6015MAP 6007MB 04-05-2002 21:21:52

RE:Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5 (modified 0 times) mooner Profile I have the same drive (from nomad jukebox?) anyway, make sure that the large disk access in the bios is set to DOS and not other. This is from memory, but I think I had the same problem. 04-06-2002 00:09:19

RE:Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5 (modified 0 times) jayklm Profile yeah it is a nomad jukebox drive :) the price was right :) In order to get the drive to work I had to set large disk access to dos AND the primary partition had to be fat16. Now it boots to a 2 gig partition with 3gigs left on the other partition. Now it boots dos. just have to install winme on it. Thanks for your help. Jay 04-06-2002 11:30:53

RE:Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5 (modified 0 times) jayklm Profile I thought I had this beat but.. I Think I just read all of the other hard disk problem posts on here. I tried all of the suggested settings. It seems that I can get dos to boot fine, but as soon as I install windows I get the blinking cursor on the first reboot (during install). I dont mind having 98light booting off of the DOC. How can I force the boot order? I tried forcing the boot order in the bios with no luck. Has any one soled this problem yet? (i may have missed a thread). Thanks again jay 04-06-2002 17:27:57

RE:Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5 (modified 0 times) mooner Profile Wow, im not sure what kind of problem your having. I have done almost 60 of these things for my school using that harddrive. the ONLY bios changes I make is turning on the IDE to primary and changing the large disk access to DOS, and thats it. I have a 98se ghost image your welcome to try.. its big so you will need some type of broadband. 04-06-2002 22:21:31

RE:Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5 (modified 0 times) jayklm Profile I got it working by using DM (disk manager) to partition the drive. I am going to try it again on my other WP. thanks 04-07-2002 01:07:59

RE:Problem with Toshiba MK6015MAP 6GB 2.5 (modified 0 times) jayklm Profile Problem: Want to boot off of DOC (C:) and have hard disk as D: Store all programs and data on D: Solution: In bios, If you enable the IDE controller and set the primary drive to be "none" windows98 will detect the drives after windows starts to load. :) Even with my "blinking cursor" problem this works. I used hackwp's win98 light image. Jay 04-07-2002 08:51:16

Another weird problem... (modified 0 times) chucklehead Profile I have gotten it to boot off the HD to DOS, but when I try to run anything from the command line it tells me 'cannot run program in DOS mode'... any ideas? I was trying spefically to run the HACKWP.EXE file that writes win98 to the DOC, but any application gives me the same error... I formatted the drive as bootable from within Win98 on a desktop machine. Maybe I need to exit to DOS and do it the fdisk way, then format /S? Any ideas at all, folks? 04-25-2002 06:07:58
