"He said that since i only have one CDRW drive it would make sense to run the old HD on IDE 1 and slave the CD off this and install the new 60gig HD as a master by itself on the IDE 2 channel."
thats what i was thinking. the other thing i wa thinking is how old is your 4 gig? must be atleast 2 years old... hdds might not last more than that.. 8( -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 11:49 AM To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Uh oh, No HD detection Thanks, A friend suggested checking the jumpers to make sure the 60gig HD is set to slave (it is) and the 4gig master drive hasn't still got the main drive only setting still on it (which i think it has!). I thought this main drive only would be the right setting, cos its not a slave and i can't use Cable select????? Again, he said to disconnect the 2nd drive and try to see if the PC boots up as normal in its original setup with one drive. He said that since i only have one CDRW drive it would make sense to run the old HD on IDE 1 and slave the CD off this and install the new 60gig HD as a master by itself on the IDE 2 channel. Anyway, cheers for the help, Dan -----Original Message----- From: Alastair Wills [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 December 2002 16:37 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Uh oh, No HD detection I personally wouldn't put my drives on cable select. First of all take the new disk out and see if that lets it boot again as it was. Also by default I believe CMOS settings usually default to pick up IDE drivves at boot time. Therefore resetting your cmos should re-enable this setting and it should scan for disks at boot time. If its still not detecting the disk it sounds like the problem is with the disk, particularly if when you put the new one in it kills the first. But please double check your settings before reporting a fault.

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.
