I'm running an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard with Windows 2000 SP4
I have enabled 48-bit addressing in the registry and the motherboard
also supports 48-bit addressing.
I have a maxtor 80GB drive as the primary master and a PlexWriter
CD-RW as the primary slave. I have 2 Maxtor 200GB drives on the
secondary IDE port. I also have a Maxtor 200GB drive as an external
USB/Firewire drive. The secondary master drive works fine, the OS sees
it as a 200GB drive and it's formatted as an NTFS volume. The
USB/Firewire connected drive works as well and it also is an NTFS
volume. The only problem I have is that W2K wont see the 200GB slave
on the secondary port. I take the drive out and put it as the slave on
the primary IDE port and the same thing happens, however, if I plug it
in using the USB interface, it works fine. I am using an 80 conductor
ATA133 cable on the secondary IDE port.
I have installed the latest nVIDIA IDE drivers and I have the latest
BIOS update that I know of (1009). The drives are certified on the
Windows HCL (Maxtor 6Y200L0). But the drive just wont work as a slave
on either port. In the device manager it just sits there with the
yellow exclamation point across the device and give me the message
that I need to restart the computer to get it to work properly (Code
14).
Any ideas?
