It might be worth trying both of the disks on cable select. It is also worth removing the second hard disk, and just seeing if the original one is booting OK on its own. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 December 2002 10:39 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Uh oh, No HD detection Hi Hows it going...this one is for the true PC engineers out there. I got a small nightmare on my hands.... I tried fitting a new 60gig Maxtor hard drive (2nd drive for audio only) to my PC and all went well till I turned the PC back on again (it was all ok with the slave and master setup etc and I connected them in the right order on IDE1 on the motherboard etc, with power cables set up ok etc etc). On bootup I hit delete till the Award CMOS bios screen came up, saw my original hard drive displayed as a Primary Master then selected Autodetect for the new Primary Slave HD. I saved the setup then booted up again, but for some reason the CMOS doesn't save the settings and now it doesn't even detect my original HD. I just see a list on the screen that says i have no hard drives when there are clearly 2 connected to the motherboard. I just get the message Primary Disk failure Insert System Disk (which i stupidly never made, but only because i never intended doing anything with the Primary Master). I didn't think this would happen. Have I killed my PC? Can I make a System Disk off another PC and use it to boot my spazzed machine (i use Win98SE if this makes any difference)? Thanks for any help... Dan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
