hello,
i am trying to install a western digital 40 GB 7200rpm hard drive into a gateway 2000 p5-100. the gateway originally came with a western digital caviar 31000. on the top of that hard drive it reads AT compatible 1083.8MB.
i was able to install windows 98 on the 40 GB on my other computer and tried to install it into the gateway. the gateway doesnt recognize the drive.
does anyone know why? im almost out of hair.....:o
