| 426156 | 2006-02-01 21:10:00 | Have u configured them in the BIOS, so the BIOS knows they're there? You have to do this first, before anything will see them. |

| 426158 | 2006-02-01 21:32:00 | Well this will be why they dont get detected. Press the delete key (it might be another key, I dont know), as soon as u reboot to get into the BIOS (dont wait too long). Then depending on what ide connections the cd/s and hdd are on (primary or secondary master/slave). Configure the Primary or secondary master/slave, in the BIOS (put these on AUTO), then save the settings in the BIOS, and reboot. Also make sure the hdd/cd/s are jumpered to slave or master. Read the BIOS part in the mobo manual. |

| 426159 | 2006-02-05 00:24:00 | after you autodetect the drives in the bios as speedy gonzales has posted this applys to xp go to administrative tools, compt managerment. disk management.on the right see if the hdd drive and the cdrom are recognised. if you dont see them on the toolbar goto- view- top and press =disk list and all the drives will show on the right they can also be partitioned and a drive letter assigned in there, good luck the reason i kow this i made so many mistakes trying to configure those drives i had to learn this applys to winxp it isnt in win 98 and im not sure about win me marty |
