Operating Systems SCO Need Help With System Recovery After HD Errors Post 302992313 by spock9458 on Thursday 23rd of February 2017 04:00:42 PM
Old 02-23-2017
OK, I have my new hard drive installed with the IDE / SATA adapter. Installing from the original SCO 5.0.6 boot disk appears to work fine, I am not linking to any particular driver for the HD and it appears to be recognized. However, when I get to the part about selecting my CD device, the installation does not find the CD. I know from the BIOS that it is attached to the Secondary IDE channel as the Master. Is there some kind of problem with having it as the Secondary Master? I did not change that cable at all, so I know this is how it was configured the last time 5.0.6 was installed. Any ideas why it won't find my CD? I know the CD drive has power, because the tray opens and closes. The "working" light comes on when I insert the CD. However when the installation routine says it is checking the CD the light does not come on. I don't know what to do now. Any help is appreciated.
