I've been running a system since last January with an Epox 8KHA motherboard and a Western Digital 40 Gigabyte drive. I originally had the single drive set with no jumper at all, as it was a single master.
I just purchased a Western Digital 80 Gigabyte with the 8MB buffer, quite nice. I've tried to make it the slave on the primary IDE chain, but doing so causes both Western Digital drives to be unrecognizable to the BIOS. I set the 40 GB to master with the single jumper and the 80 GB to slave. Nothing.
The drive is good since it works fine when I connected it to another system, so that's not the problem. What can I do to make these drives function together on this system? Should I move drives around in regard to how they are hooked into the two IDE chains? I have a DVD drive and CD-Writer on the secondary IDE chain.
Help me please!:confused:
