Hy,

getting this error message "primary master hard disk fail"; after
booting an ibm hard disk with a "maxtor draco" macintosh disk.

Award Plug&Play Bios says:

1st screen
Detecting IDE Primary Master...... IC35L060AVER07-0
Detecting IDE Primary Slave...... Maxtor Draco
Detecting IDE Secondary Master.......CR-48XATE
Detecting IDE Secondary Slave......None

2nd screen
Prim. Master Disk: None
Primary Slave Disk: None
Secondary Master Disk: CR-48XATE
Secondary Slave Disk: None

Diagnostics with Powermax displays error-codes: UKOE02, S57,
BiosExtensionSupport - failed, Partition information - read fail.

MaxBlast III does not recognize the Maxtor Hard Disk, IBMs Drive
Fitness Test does it, but could not handle the MacIntosh hard disk.

Anyone has an idea what to do? Are there other diagnostics tools for
windows which can handle Mac hard disks?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
berthold
