- Q. When I first power-up my A1200, the hard drive works fine, but after a
- reset the hard drive is no longer recognized. What's wrong?
- A. This is a problem with the hardware IDE reset signal. The easy fix is to
- cut pin 1 on the IDE cable (usually the one with the stripe), peel back
- the wires a little, and tape them off, disconnecting the reset signal.
