I finally found some time to install a new hard drive so I upgraded my
DFSee (to 6.17), made new emergency floppies, backed up twice, powered
down and swapped my old 32 GB Secondary Slave for a new 120 GB Hitachi
Deskstar (IDE). Yes, I set the drive jumper for Slave.

I rebooted and the motherboard BIOS won't move past drive detection. If
I go to the BIOS drive autodetect it gets through the first three drives
but hangs on the new Secondary Slave.

The drive has no partitions on it. The motherboard BIOS is dated 11 Nov
1997. I want to use DFSee to partition the drive. What should I do?
