5787 2000-08-08 01:46:00 I have a curly one!
I have 3 Hard Drives installed in my computer.
1. A new 20.4GB (UDMA66) as primary master
2. An old 1.3GB drive as primary slave (used as backup drive)

1 & 2 connected by UDMA66 cable


3. A 4.5GB drive as secondary master.

Additionally my CD-Rom drive has the secondary slave position.

3 & 4 connected by traditional cable


Now, my problem is this.
Every 2nd boot, and only every second boot, BIOS does not find the 1.3GB drive. I assume it is something to do with the UDMA66, but would like to know why the problem occurs only every 2nd boot.

I could probably get around the problem by doing a manual BIOS setup of the drives, but would still like to know the source of the problem.
