CD drives quit simultaneously- some results

Might as well post the full Storage section with Advanced Information bolted, from... "START button, Run, MSInfo32, Components, Storage" Post the Problem Devices section too, if any. In 8 years on the net, this is the longest post I've ever made. Below is as you requested. The mouse is the only problem listed- it is not a real problem. My motherboard does not seem to recognize my Logictech wheel mouse properly from day 1. The mouse works fine, the tech says it's OK, so it's been like that for years. Advice?

CD drives quit simultaneously- some results
Well, in your earlier post you mention that only these items appear under Hard disk
controllers in Device Manager: a. Intel 823715B PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Properties b. Primary IDE Controller (dual fifo) c. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller Yet, msinfo32 shows Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller Primary IDE controller (dual fifo) Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo) and two physical hard drives, plus the two optical drives (CD-ROM and CD burner). The IDE/ESDI Hard disk controller is apparently an IDE controller on your ESS sound card. Here is how I would proceed: Start the computer in SAFE MODE. In safe Mode, open Device Manager, expand the Hard Disk Controllers category, and remove *every* instance of the Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller and the Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller. Windows won't let you remove the Primary and Secondary IDE controllers....you can try, but it won't let you. If there is a category named Other, expand it and remove every item listed there. Then click OK/Close. Click Start Shutdown Restart. As soon as it begins to restart, press the key that allows you to enter the BIOS setup program. Often it is the Delete key, but it may be the F1, F2 or another key.....there should be a prompt on-screen at the beginning of the boot sequences that says what key to press to enter Setup. In the BIOS setup, make sure you have both the primary and secondary IDE Controllers enabled, and set to Auto if that option exists. Exactly where you will find that setting varies with the brand and version of the BIOS. On an Award BIOS here, it is found on the Integrated Peripherals screen: OnChip IDE First Channel: Enable OnChip IDE Second Channel: Enable IDE Primary Master PIO: Auto IDE Primary Slave PIO: Auto IDE Secondary Master PIO: Auto IDE Secondary Slave PIO: Auto IDE Primary Master UDMA: Auto IDE Primary Slave UDMA: Auto IDE Secondary Master UDMA: Auto IDE Secondary Slave UDMA: Auto If you need to make changes, save then when you exit the BIOS setup. Then let Windows start, and it will detect the controllers. Let *all* the controllers be detected prior to accepting any prompt to reboot. When the detections are done, then you can manually reboot. You may need to go back after the reboot and set the Dual IDE Settings to "Both IDE Channels Selected" again. Post back with your results. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm snipped Storage: Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller hdc Registry Key:

Ms, on my Compaq, the BIOS Setup key is F10. As it seems to be important
to get into BIOS before booting to Windows & after doing those "removes" in Device Manager, perhaps discover/practice your key first... ......Quote of Candlin about............... ......keystrokes to get to BIOS Setup.... Usually DEL, but F1, F2, F10 are also common.

Looks like Glee posted one good enough. STILL, I'll post one, JUST SWEAR
you never will tell Terhune I did so & read my disclaimer. I hope you have the Windows Installation .cab files either on CD or in a folder. Also, I hope you don't end up in a reboot loop. .......Quote.............. Multiple CD-ROM Drive Letters After Upgrading to Windows 98 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=189386 The above is a *very* particular error, but you should take a look at it. Regardless, your problem is almost certainly *not* Windows Explorer, it's the CD drive itself. Or rather, it's the CD drive's drivers installation and/or supporting software. I suggest, before you do anything else, that you partially rebuild your hardware profile in Safe Mode. Here's the whole procedu 1. StartRun (type in) MSCONFIG enter 2. Click on Advanced button at lower right, then "Enable Startup Menu". OK, OK, reboot when prompted. 3. When the Startup Menu appears, choose Safe Mode, wait for it to load. 4. Right-click My Computer, then (left) click Properties, then choose Device Manager tab. 5. Remove ALL drives, including floppy, hard disk(s), CD(s), whatever. Remove ALL floppy and IDE controllers (except FIFOs, which can't be removed here.) 6. Remove the System Device called "PCI Bus" 7. Review the rest of Device Manager and note down any device which has more than one *identical* entry. Make a list, note how many of each duplication. 8. Close Device Manager, etc. 9. StartRun SCANREGW /backup 10. StartRun REGEDIT 11. Expand (click on +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then expand "Enum" 12. Right-click on "MF" key, and Delete. (this removes FIFOs.) Close REGEDIT. 13. StartSettingsControl PanelAdd/Remove Programs. Remove anything remotely resembling a CDROM support application. If any CD Burners are part of the system, remove any cd-burning software, also. 14. Open Windows Explorer. Go to View menu, Folder Options, View tab. There, make sure "Show All Files" is checked, and "Hide Extensions for Known Filetypes" is *not* checked. OK, OK. 15. In View menu, choose Details. 16. Rename Autoexec.bat to Autoexec.old. Do the same with Config.sys=Config.old. 17. StartRun MSINFO32 18. Expand "Software Environment", click on "Startup Programs" (or whatever looks similar.) Click anywhere in right-hand pane. Use Ctrl-A to select all, then Ctrl-C to Copy. 19. Right-click on empty spot on Desktop, New, Text Document. Name it StartInfo.txt. Open it, then use Ctrl-V to paste in Startup Programs list. Save, Close. 20. StartRun MSCONFIG 22. Choose Selective Startup, then Uncheck "Load Startup Group Items". Make sure it's completely unchecked. Click OK, restart when prompted. 23. Reinstalling Devices will take two or three restarts. With few exceptions, all the drivers should be readily available to Windows--you shouldn't need to provide anything except, perhaps, your Windows Installation files (on CD or in C:\Windows\Options\CABS.) 24. Try your new system as is. If it all works well, run MSCONFIG again and re-enable Normal Startup, then reboot, etc. Only things that may not work are those that require things to load in Autoexec.bat and/or Config.sys, but we'll get to that. 25. Test your system again. 26. Right-Click My Computer, then choose Properties, then Performance tab. Any mention of Real-Mode Compatibility in there? Or does it say you're system is configured for optimal performance? 27. Report back here with results, and include: a. Your list of duplicated Device Manager items b. MSINFO Startup list. c. Contents of Autoexec.old and Config.old files. We'll be able to advise on whatever else may need to be done to clean up. Oh, and one last thing. After all of this is done, before posting back here, For your further reading pleasure, see my article, "Clean Boot--What it is and why you need it" http://www.google.com/groups?selm=%2...GP11.phx.gb l Because some of the more recent known invaders are capable of interfering with the suggestions contained in the above, I suggest you also consider first doing the following, though it may be necessary to set up a clean boot, and even then manually kill a malicious process or two before you can even get these accomplished. Update your Antivirus, run a full scan. Then, if you haven't already, get, update and run any or all of the following Trojan/Parasite/Adware/Spyware cleaners. I recommend getting and running *all* of them. They each target slightly different things. Again, be sure you update the definitions they are using to identify crap before running them, each time you run them--which, depending on your surfing habits, should be anything from once a month, to once a week, to once a day, to once an hour if you're really into junkware sites (aka "Free goodies", game sites, fun-places-to-be, etc.) Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ SpyBot-Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/ HijackThis http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip CWShredder http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip PLEASE! Before doing any of these, see also, http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm for suggestions and cautionary information about internet surfing, and some important hints about using the above. ESPECIALLY, be aware that HijackThis scans result in a LOT of stuff that you *don't* want to delete. The admonishment to save a log and show it to an expert is critically good advice. Not following that advice can really do some damage to your system. SpyBot, too, is capable of similar problems, especially if you change default scan settings or "Immunize". -- Gary S.

My controller setup originally occurred when the tech set up my BIOS in 1997. The machine ran really troublefree until 2001 when he added a second CD writer and second hard drive. It ran fine for years until about 4 months ago. Until then, my W98SE was far less trouble than I see on this ng, or hear about from friends. I maybe had 3-5 BSOD a year. Starting 3 months ago, I got black screens on startup. Virus and spyware scans seldom show anything. The tech said tape over the insert key held down, may have caused the black screens. He said my lineup of partitions between 2 physical drives was wrong. I pointed out they were working like that for 3 years, he renumbered them for a "normal" lineup. The machine is fine for the last month, but then the CD drives died. The Recycle bin is OK, there's a hidden file that's the problem. When he renumbered the partitions, I don't think it would effect the controllers. If my controller lineup is basically wrong, how reasonably could both CD drives work fine for about 3 years? Comment?

The Recycle bin is OK, there's a hidden file that's the problem. When he renumbered the partitions, I don't think it would effect the controllers. I have no idea what you are referring to here. What did the tech do? What do you mean by "the lineup of the partitions between the two drives"? What do you mean by "he renumbered them"? You current drive configuration shows that the first physical hard drive has drives C: and E:, while the second physical drive has drives D:, F;, and G: This means that you have a Primary on the first drive (C:\), and a Primary on the second drive (D. Unless you have an operating system on both those physical drives, there is really no reason to have any primary partition on the second drive....an Extended partition with Logical drives would have served just as well. I think you may mean that the tech changed the first partition on the second physical drive to a Primary, which shuffled drive letters around. Is this correct? If my controller lineup is basically wrong, how reasonably could both CD drives work fine for about 3 years? Since the tech you refer to changed this somehow, despite the fact that there were no problems, perhaps you should ask him these questions, since only he knows what he actually did, and why. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm |

CD drives quit simultaneously- some results
Thanks, Glen, reply inline:

The IDE/ESDI Hard disk controller is apparently an IDE controller on your ESS sound card. snip Thanks again to glee and PCR for the detailed help. Using Belarc Advisor, this readout may confirm what you noted: Standard Floppy Disk Controller Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Primary IDE controller (dual fifo) Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo) Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller S3 Trio64V+ PCI (765) [Display adapter] So a bus controller is on an old video card. Is this unusual? The controller is apparently on the ESS sound card. Your listing above apparently placed two items on one line, but they are not related. It should read: Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller S3 Trio64V+ PCI (765) [Display adapter] AFAIK, IDE controllers were not put on any video cards, but many were found on sound cards. Anyway, I read through the posts, you both feel my lineup is not normal, if this is the right phrase. Before I do some (for me) drastic steps, a basic question occurs. My controller setup originally occurred when the tech set up my BIOS in 1997. The machine ran really troublefree until 2001 when he added a second CD writer and second hard drive. It ran fine for years until about 4 months ago. Until then, my W98SE was far less trouble than I see on this ng, or hear about from friends. I maybe had 3-5 BSOD a year. Starting 3 months ago, I got black screens on startup. Virus and spyware scans seldom show anything. The tech said tape over the insert key held down, may have caused the black screens. Tape over the Insert key?? Do you mean you had tape on the key holding it down? How did that come about? I occasionally hit the insert key by accident, so I put tape OVER the key, not touching, so my finger could tell the difference. Appearently, the tape contacted the key, after he cleared that, the black screen at bootup was gone, it came back several days later, then was gone for good??? He said my lineup of partitions between 2 physical drives was wrong. I pointed out they were working like that for 3 years, he renumbered them for a "normal" lineup. The machine is fine for the last month, but then the CD drives died. The Recycle bin is OK, there's a hidden file that's the problem. When he renumbered the partitions, I don't think it would effect the controllers. I have no idea what you are referring to here. What did the tech do? What do you mean by "the lineup of the partitions between the two drives"? With 2 physical drives, I had a C and D partition on one drive, my CD writer drive was E, the second drive had F, G and H partitions. The second CD drive was not hooked up then. He said that does not follow windows standard lineup. Except it worked fine for 3 years after he installed the CD writer drive and the partitions numbered themselves that way. He just didn't notice at the time, and since it worked, I was happy. What do you mean by "he renumbered them"? You current drive configuration shows that the first physical hard drive has drives C: and E:, while the second physical drive has drives D:, F;, and G: This means that you have a Primary on the first drive (C:\), and a Primary on the second drive (D. He changed the nomenclature that way. Unless you have an operating system on both those physical drives, there is really no reason to have any primary partition on the second drive....an Extended partition with Logical drives would have served just as well. I think you may mean that the tech changed the first partition on the second physical drive to a Primary, which shuffled drive letters around. Is this correct? I'm sure you're right. So it worked for months after that, as you see it. Also, I cold boot each day, so if something is wrong, it shows up. Which leads to my basic question below. If my controller lineup is basically wrong, how reasonably could both CD drives work fine for about 3 years? Since the tech you refer to changed this somehow, despite the fact that there were no problems, perhaps you should ask him these questions, since only he knows what he actually did, and why. The suggested changes are serious enough IMO that I will print this out and see him. But any comment on the above is appreciated. Thanks, MS |
