Greetings,
I run a little multi-boot desktop system at home with old
Abit BH6 motherboard. I have W2k Pro SP4 images installed/
running in their own primary partitions. Running stably
for months and months.
I have a W2k partition that I use on a daily basis. I had
configured an old Zoom hardware modem as Plug/Play on
com3/irq4/03f8 many months ago after disabling com3 (on
the mboard) in the bios. The modem works fine when I boot
to this partition.
I have another W2k partition that I use mostly for
emergencies and backups. When I boot this partition
I can't get W2k to find/detect the modem.
The Plug/Play service is enabled, but the hardware
install wizard doesn't "see" a modem. I have
attempted a manual install but the system has no
serial ports assignable for the modem (system shows
no serial ports at all).
Does anyone have a feel for what might be going on with this?
Have any idea how I could get the modem/com-port installed?
Thanks,
Peetie
