Can you get your hands on another brand drive?  Fugitsu had firmware incompatibilities 
in their old drives for some boards and chipsets/IDE controllers.  Wasn't the drivers 
fault, and I never found an answer for the systems I worked on accept going to a 
WD, Maxtor or Seagate drive.

Of course, it was never officially acknowledged, but a lot of drives went back, including 
the ones I had purchased to build systems with in the middle to late 90's.

Did you verify that all of the parameters were correct in the BIOS as it pertains 
to the drive?  You also may have to zero out the drive and start over, if it "is" 
a drive issue.  On the other hand, you could have issues beyond just the hardware 
or a combo of hardware and software.

Isn't old stuff fun to work with!??  LOL
