Dear Listers:
I'm having trouble setting up my LS-120 Mitsubishi model #MF357G-2111UAL.
Upon bootup, it goes through the RAM test, detects primary master, detects
secondary slave as "LS-160 $$$$$45$$$$" and a bunch more dollar signs. Then
it goes and detects the cd-rom (setup as primary slave) with a bunch of
letters that don't spell anything and finishes the line off with a bunch of
)'s. then stops. A soft or hard boot has the same results.
System:
HOT 555A mb
Pent 233mmx
32mg ram
2.1 g HD
Win95SR2
The BIOS is Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG 555WiQ0G 11-11-97-i430vx,
8680-2A59GH2KC-00 . The disk that came with the motherboard had a bios
upgrade that would support the LS-120. I copied the flash utility and bin
file to the root directory of C: and booted from floppy. I entered the flash
utility file name which came up with a screen asking for the bin file name. I
entered the new bin file name and (I think) it did its job. I powered off,
waited about 10 minutes, then restarted. The Award BIOS number at the bottom
of the screen changed so I figured the update worked.
I then installed the LS-120. Attaching a IDE cable to the secondary
controller on the motherboard and attached the other end to the LS-120. (The
instructions said Win95 SR2 had native support so loading the driver disk
wasn't necessary). When I booted up I got the results I mentioned earlier.
Prior to installing the LS120, everything was detected and worked fine. What
am I doing wrong? What can I check?
TIA
