I don't know why, but Windows (2000 and XP Pro both)
intermittently "lose" or forget about my DVD-ROM (Pioneer DVD-105s) and my CD-RW (Yamaha CDRW 2100E). Both were recognized when I installed the operating system, then, at some point, it can't find them anymore. I have an Intel 850GB motherboard and two IDE hard drives. IDE 1: Western-Digital (120GB) ATA-133 on Master DVD-ROM on Slave IDE 2: Western-Digital (80GB) ATA-133 on Master CD/RW on Slave Soundblaster Sound card (with the motherboard sound disabled. Matrox G-550 video card Matrox 2500RT editing card I can't find my drives. Windows says that the drives are disabled (Code 22) and are causing a resource conflict. I can't figure out what it is! When I setup the OS, both of the drives were on DMA-2 and now they're disabled and the IDE controllers say PIO. I'd love some help. Sounds like a hardware problem, I just don't know what it is. |
