I have just upgraded my mainboard to a MSI-6561 with SiS 745 Chipset, 1.4GHz AMD Athlon CPU, and attached my existing hard drives complete with OS (Win98SE) and all data and applications. The BIOS recognizes both HDs, complete with their sizes etc. but Windows no longer recognizes the Secondary IDE Controller, so I can't access any of the partitions on my second HD and of course the drive letters have all changed.
The CD which came with the Mainboard has no specific IDE drivers for Sis 745, and a visit to the SiS website confirmed that this particular chipset supports dual IDE without the need for any drivers other than those provided by the OS. I've tried updating or reinstalling the IDE Controller drivers from Device Manager (both drivers are the same for IDE1 and IDE2, just as they are on my other Win98 computer which works perfectly), then I've tried a reinstall of Win98 on top of the existing system, but to no avail. I don't really want to reformat and start all over again. Any suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks.
