IDE SSD won't seem to work.... ideas?
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 12:33 am
I found IDE SSD 128G drives on Ebay for $80-90 so I decided to get one and put it into newly acquired CF29.
I was thinking Win7 to access my network and server as XP doesn't seem to want to, but I can't get the install DVD to boot from the DVD drive (not sure if its maybe a 32bit vs 64 bit issue).
I finally decided to make an image of the 80g hard disk on my desktop and restore it to the SSD with a USB adaptor and after I did that the desktop could read files just fine, but I couldn't get the CF29 to boot from the IDE (not SATA-adaptor) SSD even though it was detected as primary master by BIOS (in setup).
Any ideas?
