Can you check the jumpers on the drive? In the old days, there were |
| 12 |
just "master" and "slave". Now there's a 3rd option "cable select", |
| 13 |
which may be abbreviated as "CS". It works "automagically" with Windows |
| 14 |
but it does *NOT* work with linux. If the jumper is set CS, set it to |
| 15 |
master and try booting from it again. |
