I got a prob with my new Soyo Dragon+.
I got following PCI Cards:
Adaptec AHA2940U2W SCSI Controller
AVM ISDN Fritz! Card
Asus V8200 Deluxe Geforce3

My Prob:
I got 3 IDE HDs (a 120 GB WD, a 80 GB Maxtor, a 20 GB Fujitsu), 2 IDE CDROMs, and a 1 SCSI CDROM. I want to install win on my WD HD. When I use IDE 0 i can only install win, when i have deactivated IDE 3+4 in my BIOS. But when i don't do it, the installation will hang up at "windows is starting" (or similar). When i set the other HDs on IDE 0 and my WD on IDE 3 I cant install windows, cause i get error-messages (GUI), that some files cant be copied.

I need my other HDs urgently! I hope someone knows that prob.

P.S.: I got 768 MB of RAM installed, if that helps u.


THX in advance.

disable yours other hd by bios is not sufficient.

1) unplug all hds
2) plug new wd hd on your 1 ide channel (set hd jumpers to master)
3) boot
4) install your new HD
5) replug all hds


if you know you don't know, the way could be more easy.
