cdrom seen by BIOS but not in WinXP (7N400 Pro2)
I recently upgraded the OS on a Gigabyte 7N400 Pro 2 Mobo from Win2K
to WinXP. When it ran Win2K, it did not have a problem recognizing both my Creative 48X CD-ROM and my Memorex DVD+RW/+R. However, with WinXP, my Creative 48X CD-ROM is not seen by the device manager. The BIOS, version F11, properly recognizes the device as secondary master, and even spins up the drive if a CD is in it, but that knowledge does not seem to get past into the OS. The GigaRaid BIOS is configured as "ATA" mode since I don't have a RAID array. The Memorex DVD+RW/+R is recognized on secondary slave properly. XP is fully updated as far as M$ is concerned. I also have all the latest drivers from GigaByte installed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Steve Maring Tarpon Springs, FL |

You may need to get them off the same cable. I've had problems in the
past where two IDE cdrom devices just didn't like coexisting. You'll also find that the slower device will slow down the faster device (yeah that still happens with these). If all else fails get a USB2.0 cabinet for one of your cd devices (the one you don't use all the time). It's strange that it worked under 2000 but doesn't under xp because generally if they don't like each other it's controller related and not os related. You might also look for a firmware update for one or both drives. Good luck. Steve Maring wrote: I recently upgraded the OS on a Gigabyte 7N400 Pro 2 Mobo from Win2K to WinXP.
