I recently add a backup disk to my computer, and i put it as a second drive in the primary IDE. Now when i start the computer it seems it "forgets" to load the drivers for my several boards, like sound, USB controllers and TV tuner. When i make the start step by step from menu start (f8) all drivers are loaded, so i guess it could be the time to recognition the second hard disk, but i don't have a reasonable explanation for that... Well the solution is to make a manual start instead of automaticaly but i prefer the automatic start so anyone had the same problem and solve it? My OS is still a Windows 98 Second Edition.
does the drive have jumper settings at the back?
I found an old abandoned comp a few months ago and stripped out the HD. I tried to get it to work, then after it not working properly and making the system go funny checked the Jumpers.
They were set to it being the MASTER drive.
The computer didn't like having 2 masters!! lol
Thanks Jules for the reply, but the Drivers are working, i can access data and the second HDD is set as slave (according to Manufacturer design) I think Aragon has the point, i'm making many experiences and so far i didn't get it right, but i keep trying... :-)
