I have a hard drive that used to work, but recently does not.
It IS recognized by BIOS, but not by Windows. Here's the setup
Intel Core2 Duo (E6750 @ 2.66GHz)
Motherboard Asus P5N-E SLI
NVIDIA nForce 430 Serial ATA Controller onboard
c: WDC hard Drive = bootdisk (SATA)
d: Maxtor drive (IDE) [formatted NTFS]
e: Maxtor drive (IDE) [formatted NTFS]
f: CD-ROM drive (SATA)
BIOS finds all these devices at bootup. no problems with c: and f: in
Windows
if both d: and e: are connected, Windows XP Pro SP2 reports only c: and f:
if only d: is connected, Windows reports c: d: and f:
if only e: is connected, Windows reports c: and f:
all drives worked at one time in this computer. suspect the trigger was
failure of old CD drive and multiple connects/disconnects
Notable:
- same power plug and data cable plug from d: only test were used to
connect e: only
- no difference if jumper on e: is switched from CS to Master (both d:
and e: previously jumpered CS, and only e: connected)
- no difference if e: is connected by either A or B on IDE cable
-TIM
