optical drive not seen at start up.
Hello, I have a dual-boot WinXP and WinME machine, when I
start up my machine I see that the post is not seeing the dvd drive. Now when I reboot I see it, it used to work find then all of a sudden it did not. Can anyone help me please, THANK YOU. |

I think we had something like that a month or so ago... your DVD drive is still busy doing it's power up stuff and doesn't answer the BIOS in time to get enumerated the first time around... now if I could only remember what the solution was :/ Rick |
Try increasing the delay time for the HD - that may help
Try enabling the RAM count - it might also help. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm In fond memory of one of life's Gentlemen - Alex Nichol http://www.aumha.org/alex.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Rick T" wrote in message ... snakeyes wrote: Hello, I have a dual-boot WinXP and WinME machine, when I start up my machine I see that the post is not seeing the dvd drive.
