Alcohol 120% + 1st HDD SATA + 2nd HDD IDE0 + XP SP2 == disappearing drive
Hi,
I have an 8KNXP with the first HDD on SATA0 and the second on IDE0. I was running Alcohol 120% fine in win2k, however, having upgraded (!) to XP SP2 my second HDD vanished from Windows. After fiddling a bit with various settings I uninstalled Alcohol 120% (an obvious suspect given how it mucks about with the drive letters) and lo and behold, my second HDD is back. I don't know if anyone else has seen this or knows of a workaround? Cheers, Trev |

It is long known that Alcohol 120 and other apps that use the same driver
have such problems. It was often stated on the XP beta news groups that one should de-install these apps prior to attempting an SP2 install. The only suggestion I can make is to hunt down an update for the affected applications. - Tim "TS" wrote in message om... Hi, I have an 8KNXP with the first HDD on SATA0 and the second on IDE0.
