The bios does not auto detect on IDE2 and when set manually it reports hard disk error 20. 2. With no hard drive set up in bios for ide2 and I booted to a floopy with the software HTIDE comp, sys. drivers etc and did a auto setup in DOS I was able to run A<B<C (HD main one)<D(old maxtor) <E (cd rom) - then fdisk, and format. the program even returned the brand name of the Hdrives. I copied several directories over to D to make room on C. 3. then to windows 95, auto set up for windows drivers and crash and burn several times. I remembered when I first did windows 95 I had a message about int13 in windows system.ini and the HTIDE int13 and 386 drivers. compatibility mode paging etc. 4. I tried to reinstall win 95 and let it correct, crash and burn, tried from dos and boot disk. It ran scandisk and on C had major problems, (later found out crash may have damaged windows systems file directory), and it found D and reported no problems. 5 reinstalled windows 95, If I leave the HTIDE 'timing ' line in config.sys I get D but not accessable and the compatibility mode paging problem. rem it out and I run okay but no D drive. 6. I have to HD controllers showing in controle panel, one for C with IDE1 I/O addresses, and one with IDE2 I/O addresses. but now D drive. any suggestions other than give up would be appreciated. It seems the problem my be via bios not turned on for IDE2??, or only actived by HTIDE software and drivers, and win 95 does not like this int13 real drivers. etc. IDE controller card is Holteck enhanced vl-ide super i/o controller Holtek HT-6560B and the software set up and drivers is version 2.41 Regards, Sam Kopecky s-kopecky@xtra.co.nz	Guest (0)
