And todays problem is....
I have have a semi-new 20GB hard drive that used to be in my PC, but i took it out ages ago. It was only used for storage. Several times this week i have tried to put it back in, but if i do when i boot up and the system re-configures all the drives to except it, it does the opposite. It not only ignores it but also ignores my Main C drive and tells me i only have 2 drive a CD and a DVD, so no hard drives at all & no operating system lol.
If i unplug it and reboot, there is my old C drive and all is ok. So what is the matter with this drive ? Why is it doing this ? The Jumpers are set Master(C) and Slave(new disk) as they were when it used to be in my system.
Its a puzzle....

MadMonkey: Have you changed the IDE cable since you took the 20GB hard drive out?

hcr-1990: No, same IDE cable tha came with the PC. One end in Mother board, middle connection Main(C) drive and other end to the new Drive. Like i say it worked before, and sometimes if i am lucky it does now. Seems to be how its feeling. Weird eh

King Reza: I will check that now, as i am having something to eat, give me a reason to log off. I can get into Set-up fine, thats F10 on this Compaq.

Thanks for the help, lets have a look.

Субъект: Re:

MadMonkey:When you reboot your system, after it starts press Delete and check if your motherboard knows your Hard drives as well. Jumpers alone won't work. I could tell you where exactly to look, but it's different on different moterboard systems. Press delete and check everywhere and you'll find it. It says that your primary slave is a hard disk an dsecondary slave should also be the other hard disk.
