Hello,
I am testing an HP PIII desktop. When I connect a WD 60GB HDD & CD ROM as Primary master & slave, they both work. When I add 2 40GB Seagates as Secondary IDE master & slave, the Phoenix BIOS sees all 4 of them correctly, but the system sees the Seagates as C: & D: and the WD & CD as E: & F: The system boots from the secondary IDE, and FDisk shows the drives as 1=40GB, 2=40GB and 3=60GB. The Operating system is irrelevant, because it happens before boot. And no, I have not reversed the cables. Have you ever seen this before. Got any ideas??
