p4c800-e does not recognize some drives CONTINUED
"Craig Matchan" wrote in message ...
Eddwnn, make sure you have your drive are cables orientated the right way. If you have your cables reversed then the system won't detect the drives. Typical side effect of having the connectors reversed is the disk activity light will be hard on. General rule of thumb is that the pin1 (red stripe on most 40/80pin IDE cables) should be near the drive power plug (right hand side of drive connector). I think on Floppy drives it's the opposite. Also check your drive's drive select jumpers. You may have a Master/Slave conflict. I generally jumper all my drives to Cable Select (CS). Good luck. Thanks. I had two problems. In BIOS, I had only one pata channel enabled. Also, the floppy drive was connected wrong, even though I had checked it over and over and I thought it would only go one way. Appreciate it, eddwnn |
