14376 2001-06-20 11:50:00 I purchased a WD 20gig drive to use as a master while using my previous Seagate 20gig as a slave. They are both seen in BIOS in the correct order, however windows only sees the master(WD). I am using EZ BIOS as I thought this may work as a last resort but to no avail. Jumpers are all correct. My device manager sees 2 Hard drives, but I can't access the slave in explorer and there does not apper to be a drive letter associated with it. Formatted and set new drive up with WD setup utility.
HARDWARE-Asus P2BF mainboard
-Seagate 20G(Slave)
-WD 20G(Master)
-Creative SBLive
-Matrox G400
-330Meg Ram
-P2 400 Processor
SOFTWARE-WIN 98 SE

Any help would be much appreciated as I have run out of ideas!!!!! Thanks.

In the CMOS you may change the setup to 'Auto'. You also can change the order of those two HD, maybe the HD has some damage.

Tell me if it works.
Cheers
