"...ROMeyn" wrote in another thread that may relate :
"ensured that the drive was hard-jumpered to be "Master" and not "CS"
(Cable Select) as many seem to come these days.  Until I did that, I
also "looped" in the partitioning process.  It drove me nuts for a
minute or two until I realized that the drive wasn't even being
detected by the installer!"
