HD not detected update

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Thanks for all the recommendations on the HD problem with my
friend's computer, most of which concentrated on the jumper
configuration.

However - Tommy suggested removing the new disk and checking
whether the Linux installation ramdisk system can detect the
primary master disk, /dev/hda, and it cannot. To repeat a little,
the system has Windows 98 on a 12 GB disk and Windows can detect
the new 40 GB disk. The only reference to /dev/hdx devices in the
ramdisk startup messages is to a CDROM drive on /dev/hdc.

I wonder if I should be using a different boot disk besides
bare.i? Any further tips would be welcome.
