Can't see ide drive when added?
Hi all,
I have a D865PERL non raid motherboard. I installed XPH on it just fine on a SATA drive. Now I want to add an IDE hard drive. I made it master and booted uip XP but XP doesn't see it. Is there anything in the cmos that I need to change so XP can see the new IDE drive? I don't want to boot to it, just use it as a data drive. thanks, charles..... |

Step 1 is to ensure it can be seen by the BIOS - reboot your PC, go into the BIOS and ensure the new HD is visible there. If not you need to re-check connections, jumpers etc. (my favourite trick is forgetting the power cable). Then boot onto XP and go: Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Disk Management On the right you will see your hard drives (and CD/DVD). Right click on the new one and you can partition and then format it (it will take a while). Think about what sort of partition you want, XP will go for a primary partition by default, if you want an extended partition and logical drives you will need to change the defaults. -- Jeff Gaines, Damerham Hampshire UK |

Typically, you move the cursor (in the BIOS) over the channel you want to change and hit "Page-Up." Or "Enter" and choose "Enable." The manuals for your computer should tell. -- The e-mail address in our reply-to line is reversed in an attempt to minimize spam. Our true address is of the form . |

Our true address is of the form Turns out the bios in the D865PERL is not really configurable when it comes to sata/pata all that much. It is pretty automatic. The problem was that the jumpers on the pata drive where set wrong and when I got them in the correct state, it works fine, doh. thanks to all.... |
