BIOS Settings?
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get an older computer running Win98 to run properly. This is an AMD 1.1 gig, 2 hard drives, cdrom, and zip250. The CDROM was a SCSI and a guy changed it to an EIDE. Now the CDROM and ZIP dirves are not showing in My Computer. Also, I was trying to get it to boot from the CDROM in order to reinstall Windows. I have been playing with the BIOS settings but only know half of what I am doing. Can someone tell me what I might try to get all drives showing: C, D, CDROM, and Zip? My current BIOS settings are below. Thanks, Bob Boot Menu 1. ATAPI CDROM None 2. Removable Device Legacy Floppy 3. IDE Hard Drive IBM DJNA 37220 4. Other Boot Device Onboard ATA100 Boot/Scsi Main Menu Primary Master IBM DJNA 37220 Type Auto Primary Slave None Type Auto Secondary Master None Type Auto Secondary Slave IOMEGA ZIP 250 Type Auto |

Verify the jumpers on the CD and Zip. Set the CD as master and the Zip as
slave. They should work the other way around also, but I prefer it this way. Once that is done, go into the IDE setup in the BIOS and set all devices for Auto Detect. Save changes and reboot. They should all be visible now. If not, start swapping cables, trying one drive at a time, etc. to find out what the problem is. -- Wayne Morgan "BobK" rk1@usernomics[no spam].com wrote in message ...

The bios should have a boot sequence preference choice. You change the
choices usually with page up and page down. If you have this feature make the cdrom the first choice and ide0 the second choice and have the Win98 cdrom in the drive when you save the settings so it will allow you to setup Windows98 from the cdrom.
