24770 2001-11-18 01:50:00 Hi, Try checking that the pins in the ide connector are all straight, and not loose. You could also check in bios to see that both are enabled, or try restoring bios defaults, that fixes a lot of things. Otherwise perhaps try using the cable from the secondary channel on the primary, to eliminate that source of the problem.

Hope that helps...
