I have that same issue with an IDE HD and Windows XP. It is the second drive on a PC. The BIOS sees it, but Windows doesn't until I tell it to scan for HW changes.
I'm not sure what causes this, but its annoying because I have to recreate the shared folders after. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Pochedley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 10:24 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: SCSI CDROM in Win2k doesn't show until...... Got a strange one here... Rebuilding a test Win2K server here which has an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card in it... The only thing attached to the 29160 is a Toshiba CDROM drive... Upon boot, the Adaptec BIOS shows the 29160 and recognizes the drive attached to it... After Win2k Svr (SP2) is booted, the CDROM drive doesn't show up... If I put a disc in, the PC doesn't see it (I've tried booting the machine with a CD in the drive, it still isn't recognized)... There's no sign of the CDROM drive in Disk Administrator. If I go into Device Manager, the Adaptec 29160 is there.. If I choose Scan for Hardware Changes, the computer takes a moment, refreshes the Device Manager display and then the CDROM appears and works normally until I reboot again... Anyone see this behavior before and know how to fix it? Thanks in advance! Joe Pochedley "I like deadlines," cartoonist Scott Adams once said.
