Hard drive problem with compatibility mode?
Hi all,
I have a couple of problems that are probably related. 1. when I go to device manager in system in control panel, I see a couple of yellow marks next to the primary and secondary controller channels of the ide interface. 2. when I go to the place that shows performance configuration in system under file system, it says the C and D drives are in compatibility mode. The computer is an older Compaq Presario 5000 with a 15G IDE hard drive partitioned as C: 12G and D: 3G. Any ideas? thanks, charles......

There was more in that first article than just the NOIDE registry setting.
I also provided other articles (some may not apply) that deal with compatibility mode issues. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "***** charles" wrote in message ...

Hard drive problem with compatibility mode?
I know you've looked for the Noide entry in the Registry already, but get the file
mentioned below anyway, and follow this procedure, in order: Go to http://www.aumha.org/regfiles.htm and click the link on the left for "Remove NOIDE Flag" Direct download of the .reg file, in a .zip file http://aumha.org/downloads/noide.zip Download the file, then extract the .reg file to your Desktop; right-click the NOIDE.REG file and click Merge on the menu that appears, and OK to the confirmation message. Restart the computer in Safe Mode: - Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 Startup menu (boot menu) appears. OR - Repeatedly tap the F8 key after the memory count to bring up the boot menu. - Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter. Open Device Manager, expand the Hard Disk Controllers category, remove all instances of the PCI Bus Master IDE Controller, and any other Master IDE controller listed. (You won't be able to remove the Primary and Secondary IDE Controllers....that's normal). Remove all items in the "Other" category. If any duplicates that do not appear in normal mode are found in the following categories, remove ALL instances of the item in that category: Floppy disk controllers, CDROM, CD-ROM controllers, and Disk drives. Click OK, and restart in normal mode, letting Windows detect the items. Windows will re-detect the IDE controller, and the primary and secondary controllers. Wait to reboot till all three have been detected. If any other present devices were deleted due to duplicates, allow them to be detected also, then reboot. Post back with your results.
