Re: Quick Question And Need Help

I have swapped the IDE cables and both channels are enabled in the bios. I guess I will spend the money and buy a pci ide controller. I thought I had one but I must have thrown it out. Another quick question. Data recovery from a NTFS formatted drive.

Be sure to check the BIOS settings to make sure that both IDE channels are enabled. One would think they would be, if you had devices connected to them and they worked before, but never assume the obvious when working with computers...

Subject: Quick Question And Need Help

I have a HP Pavilion 503n and all of the sudden the secondary ide channel stopped working. This puts me in a dilema because I was getting ready to do a fresh install of all of my operating systems. If anyone has any idea of what the problem could be let me know. I tried swaping the primary and secondary cables on the MB and the Optical drives worked fine and the harddrives were not detected. If you have any insight would be much appreciated. I am really not into the hardware side of a computer. I upgrade and that is it. None of this diagnostic stuff. LOL
