I purchased a Maxtor Quickview 400gb drive and Instacake CD (through the mail) to upgrade my 649080. I tried doing the upgrade twice this morning. I make it to screen 3 and get this error:
/dev/hdc: no such device or address
Restore failed: unable to open destination device for writing.
Cannot Continue -- processing aborted
I disconnected all drives except the CD Rom. Had the jumpers set to slave on the CD ROM and Master on the new drive.
The portion of the IDE cable that is used to connect the CD ROM to the new HD is very short, only 2½". Since I had such a small area to work in, I had to have the new drive set at an angle on it's side. Could this have anything to do with why processing failed? If not, any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
Just in case it matters, my computer is running Windows xp with a Pentium 4 processor.
