Flashed BIOS - IDE controller problems
Hi,
I have been having a bit of a problem with one of my machines, and I was hoping someone could help. Here's the story: I flashed the BIOS on my TCommate MB, P2BXA Rev. 1.02, with a BIOS directly from the manufacturer. It updated the BIOS from v. 1.01 to 1.06. The specs on the machine are as follows: PII 400/512MB SDRAM/11GB HDD and 40GB HDD. When I first booted up after the flash, it redetected all of my HW. However, the drivers for the IDE controllers will not load properly. The problems are with the Primary IDE controller (dual fifo) and Secondary IDE controller (also dual fifo). The error message is: This device is either not present, not working properly or des not have all the drivers installed (code 10.). The drivers installed are ESDI_506.pdr and IOS.vdx, version 4.10.1998, created 4/23/1999. Now, I have a CD-ROM and a DVD-ROM connected to the machine, neither of which are detected (the BIOS picks them up). When I click on performance, I have the following warnings: Compatibility mode paging reduces overal system performance Drive C is using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system. (and when I have the D Drive plugged in, the same for D) Neither of those messages appeared before the BIOS flash. A little more info on the BIOS flash: AWD modular BIOS 4.51, checked the BIOS string before flashing, and this was the correct one from the manufacturer. If anyone could help, I would REALLY appreciate it. I think I have included all the info needed, but if there's anything else I should have posted, please let me know. Thanks |
