    I have an 80gb samsung SP0802N IDE. The drive is recognised in the bios, and I am able to format and store files on it. The problem is, that I can only use it as a secondary drive because it will not boot.
    I have used the w2k and xp recovery consoles and created a new boot sector and MBR... to no avail...
    Any suggestions other than sending it back to Samsung ???
    Thanks

    Did you configure the jumpers properly?

    yeah, and is the
    • boot order correctly set in the BIOS ?
    • is the drive detected as master or slave ?
    • or are you using C/SEL ?

    Yes to all of the above...
    Although I have never tried using cable select, might be worth a shot.
    Let you know how I make out.
