Any Help would be truely appreciated.
So I was just gonna swap some drives around ... seemed simple enough
But afterwards... Crazy stuff happened. My DVD drive and my DVD-RW drive shows up in "My Computer" as HDD's . When I go into Device Manager they show up in the DVD/CD-ROM Drives. They don't show up in Disk Management nor in Partition Magic. Why is "My Computer" mixed up and How can I fix it... I even tried uninstalling the drives from Device Manager and rebooted ... but nothing
What I have
Athlon 2500+
1 GB of Corsair
Chaintech NJ7S
2 - 80GB HDD in Mirrored Raid 1 (my WinXP sits here)
1 - 160GB on IDE Primary Master (Mostly data stuff)
Pioneer DVD-RW drive on IDE econdary Master
Ok... so everything seems normal here.
So what I tried to do was set up was
1 80GB HDD in Striped Raid 0 - my boot disk
2 - 160 GB HDD in Mirrored Raid 1 - my data
and then add a Lite-On DVD drive to my secondary mater IDE
Changing the mirrored 80's to a striped 80 was fine
Setting up the Mirrored 160's ended up copying the 80's onto both 160's .... how that happened i don't know and I'm pissed ... luckily i backed most of the important stuff up
but when everything is set up... when i go into "My Computer" I have 2 extra "Local Dives" that are suppose to be my DVD and DVD-RW dives...
Help me please ... having a bad day 🙁
Thanks
