Drive not remounting on boot -- Anyone?

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi All!

I have posted this problem before and not received a
response - but the problem continues despite my best
efforts... and thus I go fishing again..

I have a P3 Epox motherboard and recently installed a
Seagate Barracuda 80 GB hard drive (7200.7 - ST380011A).
My motherboard doesn't recognise the drive at 80GB so I
had to change the jumpers to limit the drive to 32GB (as
Primary Slave).

I then partitioned the drive into a FAT32 partition for
data files and an EXT3 partition for RedHat Linux. I have
WinXP Pro on another drive - Primary Master.

My problem is that the drive isn't 'remounted' on boot -
I have to go to the hardware wizard to get XP to re-
detect the drive.

How might I correct this?

Thanks for any advice!

Rob

Have you tried any forums hosted by the manufacturer of your motherboard? My
guess is that you would be able to get good answers there!
