Help!! Due to a major act of stupidity on my part (long story), I have
deleted my Primary and secondary IDE controllers. System;
Abit BX 6 Rev2
Maxtor 13.6 gig HD (primary master)
Asus 40X CD (secondary master)
HP 7570 CD-R (secondary slave)
Win 98
BIOS detects HD on Primary 1. Both IDE controllers enabled in BIOS.
Red x's on primary and secondary IDE controllers in device manager.
Says no drivers installed for device in both, Points to mchdc.inf (in
Windows INF folder) when trying to update drivers. Get a "windows
couldn't install error" with an error 69 message when trying to
install. I have pointed it at backups of mshdc.inf with the same
result.
It sees HD (drives C-L) and functions, but fails to detect the two CD's
on secondary. Same problem in DOS. Am I stuck with a complete
reinstall of Windows? Help!!
Thanks,
Art Cassel
