| 28905 | 2001-12-28 09:39:00 | I have a Pentium II, Celeron 266 HP Pavilion computer. I have one hard drive on the Primary Master IDE channel and a CD-ROM on the Secondary Master channel. I use to have a second hard drive on the Primary Slave IDE channel but one day I removed this second hard drive and when I reconnected it the computer refused to auto-detect it. Since then neither the Primary or Secondary Slave IDE channel work ? I can only put one device on each cable. I have tried different hard drives, moving the CD-ROM, using auto-detect and manual settings but nothing has worked. I have checked the BIOS and there does not appear to be any settings for enabling or disabling the IDE channels. I now want to add and second hard drive and hope to add a CD-Writer in the near further so I need to sort this problem out. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. |
