If this is the same proceedure that you have performed many times before then
you should get the same result: yes?

So tell us what additional steps you followed on this occasion, or what
additional software has been installed since you last did this proceedure.

Install the chipset drivers for you motherboard. This should install the
correct IDE drivers for your motherboard and the secondary IDE slot should
be active, if they are active in the BIOS.

This isn't limited to your device, my USB mass storage device is
encountering identical problems. Device manager says it is working
properly, won't upgrade drive, etc. I am going to continue searching
since answers are often all about syntax, but I will anxiously await a
reply that will resolve this frustrating issue.BAR Wrote:

Are the drives listed but not reading data? If so you have the dreaded
USB conflict a few posts down. Try booting with a cd in the drive
