Hi people,
I was wondering if someone might help, I've been trying to connect 1 SATA hard drive (boot drive) and two IDE devices (IDE hard drive: Seagate barracuda 7200 160 gb without OS. CD-ROM drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD-5200A ) to my system with no luck. I can only seem to get one or the other to work (they both work fine on their own) with my SATA HDD: Hitachi HDS721616PLA380 160gb.
I have been through all of the master/slave configurations on each of the IDE drives without success trying all combinations of jumpers and cables I also tried new cables. In the BIOS: ( American Megatrends Inc. P1.50 06/30/2008), I have tried each of the boot options ie. sequence and hard drive select and also all IDE/SATA configurations. I have also tried sata/ide combination. No luck.
I ran a memory check with mem86 with no faults and have checked all internal and external cables in the pc. The computer itself is only a few weeks old and runs fine until I try to add the extra ide device. I suspected PSU may be at fault but since it is new and there are no other external devices attached to the machine I doubt it.
I have also updated all drivers including the chipset for the motherboard but as yet I havent updated the BIOS. Any suggestions?
Board: Wolfdale1333-D667 (ASROCK)
Memory: 2 GB
OS: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Processor: 1.60 gigahertz Intel Celeron dual core
PSU: Win Power ATX-400
