| 16183 | 2001-07-28 04:18:00 | Help! I ran out of IDE's so I put in a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 to gain more IDE's. Now I get blue screens and crashes on startup. The machine says 'volume that was removed had open files on it' then 'File system on the volume had data that needed to be flushed' then it usually crashes. A couple of times it started up and ran normally though. Device manager reported multiple copies of drives that actually existed, and a bunch of things that I don't even own. The E: Zip drive now thinks its a floppy drive on B:. The machine is a 450mhz Pentium 3 with 256M of ram, 2 HDD's, a ZIP drive, a DVD drive and a new Sony CD-RW. When I can access them, they all seem to behaving normally. I moved the HDDs to separate IDE's on the Promise card and made them both masters. The Zip drive and DVD share their original motherboard IDE connector, and the CD-RW is on the motherboard secondary IDE. This is what the computer shop recommended. Anyone got any ideas? |

Possibly a bios update for your motherboard, a driver update for your motherboard and a driver update for the promise card. There is also this page with others with a similar problem: www.softsynth.com |
