Hi!
Are you sure that UIDE causes this? Please paste the
relevant lines of your config etc. Do you cache, too?
Before UIDE, one style for caching a CD/DVD drive was:
1. load hardware driver of your choice for CD/DVD
2. load CDRCACHE
3. load MSCDEX, SHSUCDX or similar
In that case, you had to point 2. at 1. as driver,
but tell 3. that 2. is the "driver" for your CD/DVD.
Without a cache, you would just load 1. and 3. and
tell 3. that the driver is 1. as in the old days.
With UIDE, you can use /D:... to tell it which
driver name to provide. Default is UDVD1 I think.
Obviously, you can also use the separate UDVD2
driver instead of UIDE. If you load UDVD2 *after*
the harddisk and caching driver UHDD, UDVD2 will
be able to invoke UHDD for caching.
Do you cache? Have you tried differend hardware
drivers as alternative to UIDE? Have you tried
UDVD2 as well? Which type of drives do you have?
You say you have multiple SSD, HDD or "equivalent"
drives, as well as CD and DVD drives? Are those
ATAPI, ATA, SATA or other types? Which of them
are master, slave, and so on? If you use SATA,
did you make sure to disable AHCI mode in BIOS?
If you cannot, can you find a driver for AHCI?
Please be very exact in describing the different
scenarios and what works and what does not and what
exactly you think UIDE contributes to the situation.
Thank you! Regards, Eric
