| 436795 | 2006-03-08 21:32:00 | My computer cannot find a recently installed slave hard drive on the INITIAL boot & tells me "volume ... is missing" but when I do a quick reboot it then says "new voume mapping has been set up" & hey presto second drive is there.Start computer later & its back to square one. I figure that somewhere before I shut down I need to "apply/confirm" this volume mapping. Yes/No??? Or is there something I need to change in the BIOS? Boot sequence maybe? Primary HD is a Samsung & slave is a Maxtor both 10 gig - different speeds I think with slave faster of the two.I'm using WME. Any suggestions please. |

| 436796 | 2006-03-08 22:01:00 | Is this error coming up before Windows loads or is it a windows error? | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 436797 | 2006-03-08 22:11:00 | try setting the faster drive to master & slower one to slave. Are either of them on cable select? | Greven (91) | ||
| 436798 | 2006-03-08 23:20:00 | This sort of thing is sometimes caused by lost BIOS configuration settings. The BIOS backup cell might be dying. Check the system date and time after the first boot of the day. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 436799 | 2006-03-09 06:54:00 | For anyone interested Greven had the solution.I made the faster drive the master & away it went.Thanks guys for your responses. | amyes5 (2773) | ||
