Before I state the problem, I never had any trouble like this and did not change any hardware. Here is the setup: Primary Master= seagate HDD Primary slave= cd-rom
Secondary master= burner.
When I set a slave drive to the primary channel, it will not detect it right. It will either show a wrong name, use symbols for the name, mess up other drive detection, or not work in Windows. It will show the drive wrong in BIOS and in Windows. However, when i put the drive from primary slave to secondary slave, all works fine. It just seems like my primary channel is acting up all of a sudden. I have tried different hard drives and cd-rom drives. I have tried different BIOS versions and different IDE cables. I have the jumpers set correctly also. The HDD is set to master, cd-rom to slave, and burner to master. I have always used the jumpers like this before and there is no new hardware in my system. Can anyone help? Is my mobo bad?
Note: In BIOS the detection is set to AUTO
 
how do you have the jumpers set on the seagate drive? if i remember right it has a dif jumper setting ata or non ata slave thats on the same channel as the seagate master
 
it would need it to be on the jumper with ata slave, right? either way, i also tried it with a WD HDD on cable select.
