-pops- Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Just a thought, make sure all the connectors are pushed home. I recently had some very odd happenings with a hard disk (not being seen, told it was 203GB when it's only 40, etc.)All cured by pushing the IDE plug back in properly. It didn't appear to be loose and I don't know how it came to be loose but it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 madboy seeing as I have the same setup as you on my second puter,nforce etc,I must admit to never having that problem,only difference is I have my dvdrom as master on ide2 and cdrw as slave,a lot of bios prefer it that way,if it becomes a problem change them over if makes no difference for burning I have found if the cdrw is on slave.
