Quantum bigfoot

I changed the jumper settings in a quantum bigfoot 4 gb hd and forgot to write them down, I have tried every setting and keep getting a message no operating system found, the standard compaq message I think. I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks

The drive in question has DS, CS, and PK, DS is master, I have tried it in different systems, the BIOS recognizes it, just won't boot, even in system as a second drive it is recognized, but does not show up in windows? I am wondering if it is possible that the jumpers for this drive, go horizontal instead of vertical, i remember thinking something was odd when I originally looked at them. My fault for not writing it down. Anymore ideas, I appreciate. Thanks

I think that compaq setup their machines to use the CS(cable select)

That's right. That also means you have to use the right cable connector on the hd.

Try it with no jumper if it went across then it was nuetral IE Neg to Neg same as no jumper

I agree with you, this is not my computer, I built my own recently, it is my in-laws, and it is horrible.
