A friend has a Compaq 48625SX all-in-one model(Presario Net/25S) that came
with a 100MB IDE hard drive.
She wants to replace the drive with a 540MB, but cannot get the system to
take it.  When she tries to boot up, after installing and manually changing
the bios for the 540, she gets a "controller failure" error message.  She
tried another 540 drive with the same result.  Both drives are good.
Putting the original drive back, the thing works normally again.  Your help
appreciated,

Edna Sloan
