I recently ordered a hard-drive from a mail order outfit and
have been installing it into my computer.  I seem to have
successfully gotten power to the hard drive, and I've connected
it to the interface board, yet I cannot get *any* software to
acknowledge its existence.

I have the following setup:

IBM PS/2 Model 30/286  (512k, one 3.5" 1.44meg floppy).
Generic IDE interface board for AT bus.
Quantum IDE 52 meg hard drive.
DiskManager v4.2.


As I have tried virtually every piece of software having to
do with hard drive formatting, and the installation appears
to be correct, I must admit my total frustration.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
