I'm having a problem adding a hard drive to my PIII 450, Win98SE, Abit
BX6-2. I have 2 hard drives on the primary IDE controller and an A-open 32x
CD as master and a Zip as slave on the secondary. I want to add an 8 GB
Maxtor drive to the secondary controller in place of the zip. I removed the
zip and just replaced it with the hard drive as a slave to the CD. The bios
recognizes everything correctly but in Win 98 I have no CD at all in
explorer or system properties and a yellow exclamation mark on the secondary
IDE controller showing that it's not working. No conflicts are shown. Only
two hard drives are listed in system properties but I can access the new
drive, E, which apparently is running in dos compatibility mode. I changed
the jumpers on both the hard drive and the CD making the hard drive master
and the Cd slave. Still the same thing. I removed the main bus master
controller and let the system reinstall all the controllers. Same problem.
Of course, if I put the zip back in all is well.
I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
