Ide Controller Drivers not loading
I have a Win98SE PC, fitted with 2 hardrives (1 x Primary
Master, 1 x Primary Slave) and a CD-Rom on Secondary Prinary. This config has been working fine, until suddenly the D: is not accesable in Windows. Device Manager shows a yellow "!" on the IDE Controller, and it only shows one hard drive, Also, everytime the pc is booted, scandisk runs on D: and strangly, if I dissable scandisk, the D: reappears and works perfectly, with now problems shown under Device Manager. Any suggestions - for the time being I've dissabled scandisk from running, but I'm don't like doing this as there must be a reason for it? |
