Hi all,
I'm running into a goofy problem & I was hoping that someone may have a tip or two for me... I'm trying to set up a BookPC (BKS630 - intel 810 I believe) that has one IDE channel built into the mobo. It supports ata66 and has the appropriate cable.
I'm trying to put a 3.8G maxtor pio4 as master and an ata33 dvd as slave. The HD is pinned as master and the dvd is pinned as slave. During post the HD is always detected - the dvd is detected most of the time and identifed correctly - when it doesn't work - I get a bunch of goofy ascii chars instead of ide-dvd 2x...
On the summary screen you get after the post - the HD is always listed correctly. The DVD is either listed correctly, or it's blank (goofy chars don't follow through to here).
Regardless of whether it's been detected during post or not, when I go into the bios setup - the slave is listed as "none". When I try to auto detect it in there it doesn't work. Basically, the post can see it sometimes, but the bios config can't???
Either way - if it's detected good during post and summary, or if it's not I have trouble with accessing the dvd. If I boot to DOS, I can do a DIR on the drive (if detected), but trying to copy files gives me a cdr101 or cdr102 error. In windows, the dvd isn't accessable at all from the system (even if it was detected).
I've swapped the dvd with a 48xcdrom that I have with the same results. Both the cdrom and dvd work on my other system.
I've tried a normal (non ata66) cable, but the same stuff happens.
I've tried setting the dvd to CS instead of SL, no change.
Installing this stuff has always been a no-brainer before, so I'm not really sure what to do now that I'm having a problem with it.
Thanks!!!
