Thanks to Peter ZL2BAU for the tip to set the boot drive in the BIOS to HD-00.
Well my only excuse is that I had never seen that option have more than one
hard drive.
However as I had previously swapped around the cable and the same 13 GB drive
booted I did not expect a fix. I was right it didn't.
Interestingly it was set to HD-01 originally. Hmm
I have now been able to get the 80GByte drive to boot so that was the main
problem fixed but I cannot access the 13Gbyte drive.
I found with 80Gb Master IDE1, 13GB Master & CDROM slave IDE2 that the 13GB
drive came up as 130GB and its name was s!!%^TF!!!7h or something similar.
I then made the setup 80-Gb IDE1, CDROM Master & 13GB Slave IDE2.
All was detected correctly by the BIOS and I thought I was home & hosed !
I should have known better ! I can't access the 13GB drive.
I notice that the HD led on the front is lit all the time.
Yes Terry VK5ATN, you are right, the game is not for winning.
