ide problem
I need some help
My PC worked fine with Windows ME until I tried upgrading from a CD Rom to a CDR/WR. My D drive no longer is recognized and in Device Manager, the Primary and Secondary IDE Contollers are marked with a yellow X. I have tried downloading Intel drivers , but there does not seem to be any supported by Windows ME. Any help with this would be appreciated -- User from the Great White North |

is the CD the D: drive?
If so - is the drive recognised by the BIOS during the POST routine? Did you remember to set the jumpers correctly for your system? - if the HD and the CD are on the same cable, then the HD will need to be configured as the Master, and the CD as Slave. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "donkeydon" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the response, Noel
The Cd is the D Drive and is recognized by BIOS. The Drive and CD are on separate cables and the jumper is set as a slave. The CD ROM always worked in this configuration before I upgraded.

If the CD-ROM is on its own cable, then is must be set as Master, not slave.

From Donkeydon
I set the jumper to master on the cdrom and still have the same device manager problems. I have looked at a lot of the similar issues posted on message boards and am still without a solution "Noel Paton" wrote: If the CD-ROM is on its own cable, then is must be set as Master, not slave. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "donkeydon" wrote in message ...

OK
boot to Safe Mode Open device Manager Remove ALL HD's Remove ALL CD devices Remove the Master IDE Controller (what's left? - make a note!) Reboot to Normal Mode- windows will reinstall required drivers See if that fixes it. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "donkeydon" wrote in message ...
