GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE 47

[Guest]

I have Win-Me and cannot get the device manager to correctly identify my hard drive. Device manager lists the IOMEGA ZIP 100, Creative DVD and Plextor CD-R. I looked at the registry for clues and found none.

I have a IBM 45gig and IBM 6.4gig, both of which show up at Type 47's. I know of no hard drive that's produced today which doesn't show up as a type 47.

Slap some DMA on that jewel, and try to grind it under as best you can. I've heard clocking the pci bus to 43mhz does that job nicely.

My IBM 75GXP 46.1GB shows up at Type 47 and I don't feel anything wrong with it.

It depends on your hard drive controller drivers.
My old system is an ALi based board. When you install the ALi IDE drivers, the hard drive is correctly detected.

My new system is an A7V using the VIA chipset. It never identified the hard drive correctly. Until recently that is. I went to the VIA web page and it seems that it has changed the download section. Drivers are now separated by chipsets. I downloaded the VIA 4 in 1 drivers for my KT133 and after I installed them I found my hard drive correctly detected by name.

Go figure.
Just something for you to try.
