Siig Ultra ATA 133 PCI & HDD Problem
Hi,
Sorry for the cross post, but the more help the better. Hopefully someone can help. I have just installed the Siig Ultra ATA 133 PCI card along with a Samsung 120GB HDD, but the HDD does not get recognised as a drive in My Computer. The new drive is set to master and is on the Primary channel on the card. The Card is installed correctly and it along with device manager show the Samsung drive without any problems. The card's BIOS shows the HDD also as primary master. I have tried updating the drivers for the card, but this didn't make any difference This is my current setup. PM=120GB WD HDD PS=120GB WD HDD SM=DVD Rom SS=Liteon 52x CDRW I just don't understand why WinXP Pro doesn't show the new Samsung 120GB in My Computer. TIA. Cheers, Barry ========================== Remove SPAM TRAP to reply ========================== |
