Yes, I went from OS 8.1 to 8.6 on the other 2 drives and left the primary alone. The tech used Drive-setup 1.7.3 on those. On the original 2.1 drive I just updated I've got FWB 4.0.1 driver, I did NOT update drivers during installation of 8.6.
I didn't mean the chime worked on the secondary drive, I meant that when I'm using my secondary drive and I choose my original 2.1 as the startup drive and restart, the original 2.1 chimes. It only doesn't chime when I do a cold start when the computer is off. Even with no chime it still boots. The sound controls are all on, on all drives. Could it be the driver? Should I use Drive-setup instead of FWB on my original drive? Thanks, Barbara on 7/23/04 5:18 PM, Paul Corsa at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Your post has me confused.
