[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Seagate ST-4037 Hard Drive

I'm having a problem with a Seagate ST-4037 hard drive that I'm hopeing
you netters can help me with.

First, the hardware

IBM PC with an Adaptec ACB 2010 Rev M HD controller
Seagate ST-4037 hard drive, BIOS Version 1.0

-------

The problem I'm having is, if I configure the Seagate for drive two
in the machine, enter Debug with g=c800:CCC, enter the info, and
start the format, it will 'seem' to run for about 15 seconds, then
above with the following errors:

Controller Error 30
BIOS Error 20

If I configure the drive for drive one in the machine, the machine will
not boot. Period!  It goes to the part of the post where it 'see's' the
hard drive, and hangs right there.  The reset button won't even reboot
the machine, only the power off/on.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I do not have the jumper options for the
drive, and feel that it *may* be that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Steve
