Please look at your user manual for the HP 9110i to see if it is supposed to
be the master on the channel with the CD. When I first installed my Plextor
I installed it as a slave to a Zip drive.  Win 98 did not show it at all.  I
had to pull both units to set the Plextor as a master and the zip as a
slave.  Win 98 saw both immediately.  Check your manual for the CD-RW. It
only takes a few minutes to change the jumpers.

Subject: [PCBUILD] CDRom & CDRW drives vanished HELP!!!


Last night I went into my device mgr. and I think I set both CDRom drives to
enable DMA. The CDRom dr. and the HP 9110i cd writer are both on the same
IDE controller. When I booted up this morning,
Dev. mgr. is not showing any CDRom drives. It shows a yellow ! on secondary
ide conroller (this dev. is either missing or not installed properly or not
all the drivers are installed). If I go to the resources box it shows "no
conflicts". I cannot update the drivers off the W98 disk because there is no
CDrom drive working. I have tried going into safemode and removing the CDRom
drives but when I boot back into Windows 98 no CDRom drives are found. Bios
shows both IDE controllers.
Help, Any ideas?
