Re: 9.04 can't find second hard drive.




it is a new motherboard. (ASUS P5QL pro)
it is a new harddrive (Seagate 1tb)

the new drive is SATA
the old drive is IDE

the jumpers are set for slave on the IDE harddrive

(also new graphics card, new CPU, new power supply and an identical
new mouse)

Let me get this straight. You replaced darn near everything in the
system between upgrading to a SATA drive and 9.04, correct? So the old
drive isn't seen by the new MB's BIOS, also correct? Have you put that
drive into another system to see if IT can find it?

I'm not convince it's a BIOS problem, has anyone thought the drive might
have failed? If there was static discharge, for example, it could have
fried the controller on the drive and therefore it won't respond to BIOS
requests so the BIOS doesn't 'see' it.

Let's not jump the gun and determine it's the BIOS. I've rarely ever
seen BIOS fail like that. Typically it either works or doesn't.




Mark if you go back to the beginning it is worse. He didn't tell us it
was a new mother board. The new HD is a SATA drive. Perhaps the new
mother board BIOS doesn't like IDE any more? He has a 1000 GB new hard
drive so I think the best thing to do is just get 9.04 working to his
satisfaction.

Also he has a IDE CD drive. And the old HD is on a data cable as the
master or slave no-one can tell. The IDE CD drive I think is always
jumpered slave except when someone moves it. Also on NEW IDE things you
can jumper them for do not care.

So lots is not clear.
