My platform is Win 98. Until recently I had no problem to see the=20
content of the secondary HDD (slave, Maxtor) connected to the same=20
ribbon cable as the primary HDD(also Maxtor). Now Windows Explorer =
does=20
not show the second HDD. I checked Bios which is set to autodetect the =

secondary (slave) as well as the primary (master). Device Manager =
lists=20
the secondary drive with "working properly" message. In fact, at the=20
booting I can see the second HDD as the first HDD in the flowing Bios=20
screen with correct identification. I even once removed the second HDD =

in the device manager before rebooting, but it did not solve the =
problem.
(To be sure, I have checked the integrity of both drives and correct=20
jumpers setting .)
Can anybody tell whether this is a motherboard problem or whether=20
something happened to the Win 98 system=20
files? What might be the way to solve this problem?
