| 441182 | 2006-03-28 07:54:00 | IDE Configuration IDE Controller[both] Primary IDE Master[Quantum fireball lct2] Primary IDE Slave[not installed] Secondary IDE Master[DVD......] Secondary IDE Slave[CRD........] Does this look right?Or is it something else? Cheers If nothing is on Primary IDE slave change it to NONE. Other than that, that setup looks right to me. I doubt autorun has anything to do with it. Try changing the IDE cable, and put an 80 cable IDE cable in (a cable with a blue connector, at one end. The blue end plugs into the motherboard connector). Also, make sure the red / blue line which goes along one side of the IDE cable is connected to pin 1 at both ends. |

| 441187 | 2006-03-28 09:10:00 | Actually,an update to the "freezing up",it only happens when i'm in "my computer" and i open one of the trays,if i'm not in "my computer" theres no freezing up on the screen,Damn things still don't work though. | rogsv8 (8994) | ||
| 441188 | 2006-03-28 09:52:00 | sounds like a windows problem rather than a hardware problem. Have you set it to use DMA? (You enable DMA in device manager on the IDE channel, not the actual drive). I don't think that will help your current problem, but it is something that has to be done | Greven (91) | ||
