Hi
Have an older computer with following setup (used to work fine)
Primary Master Hard disc
Primary slave None
Secondary Master CD
Secondary Slave Zip (100 MB)
All drives above are recognised on the startup screens, but not in DOS or
Windows
Neither scondary drives are shown in Windows or DOS. (from hard disc)
In Device Manager there are Exclamation marks against primary & secondary
drives.
Have tried deleting them for windows to re-install, permission denied
without deleting their host. This was deleted & system re-booted for same
symptoms.
Have tried investigating in BIOS, but all seems OK.
(At an earlier time, CD was not recognised at startup, fixed with a wriggle
of the ribbon lead. worked fine until recently)
Now fitted with new lead with no joy, have also tried another CD drive.
All help will be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Richard Webb
