Alcohol 120% + 1st HDD SATA + 2nd HDD IDE0 + XP SP2 == dis..

Hi,

I have an 8KNXP with the first HDD on SATA0 and the second on IDE0. I
was running Alcohol 120% fine in win2k, however, having upgraded (!)
to XP SP2 my second HDD vanished from Windows.

After fiddling a bit with various settings I uninstalled Alcohol 120%
(an obvious suspect given how it mucks about with the drive letters)
and lo and behold, my second HDD is back.

I don't know if anyone else has seen this or knows of a workaround?

Cheers,
Trev

It is long known that Alcohol 120 and other apps that use the same driver
have such problems.
It was often stated on the XP beta news groups that one should de-install
these apps prior to attempting an SP2 install.

The only suggestion I can make is to hunt down an update for the affected
applications.
