Cajun First things The HDD must be Master on IDE 1 My old zip used to work on any of my IDE connections - are you using cable select or master and slave. I would try the zip as slave on IDE 1 for now Leave the CD alone for the moment With set up as above what happens? Enter BIOS and see which drives are reconised. If it will not work with cable select then manually set the jumpers to master and slave - Hdd = master Let me know how you get on Chris chris@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.spotta.com -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cajun Sent: 19 April 2005 13:50 To: PCTechTalk Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- IDE2 & IDE3 Connectors on new build I just built my first "new build" computer. I have a Gigabyte GA-81915P Duo Pro Rev. 1.3 LGA 775 Socket T motherboard with SATA, RAID, 3 IDE connectors, and Award BIOS. I am running one CDRW and one Zip drive on one IDE cable, and one IDE hard drive on a second IDE cable. I am not running RAID or any SATA peripherals at this time. My problem is that both the CDRW/Zip drives and the IDE Hard Drive work on IDE1, but neither work on IDE2 or IDE3. The manual says the CDRW/Zip has to be on IDE1 to work properly. In the BIOS under Integrated Peripherals I have SATA Raid/AHCI Mode disabled and On-Chip SATA Mode set to Auto. This page shows On Chip Primary PCI IDE enabled at the top. I thought maybe the SATA mode had something to do with it, so I tried it on every setting, but it's still not recognizing my hard drive on IDE2. How do I get IDE2 and IDE3 to work? Do I need to change a BIOS setting? Thanks. ) ( [_]? dj -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
