A7V133 / Win98SE system lost primary bus (?) - please help
Attempting to open a MS Word document caused my system to crash. After which, both HDDs on the primary bus were no longer detectable and bootup failed. But, bootup was made possible by moving the boot HDD (ST340016A) to the secondary master. Does this mean that my primary bus is GONE? Here's my "original" installation: Motherboard: Asus A7V133 (rev "1.05." with BIOS 1007 and Promise Ultra100 IDE Controller) OS: Windows 98 SE HDD (PriMastr): Seagate Barracuda ATA IV - ST340016A - ATA100 - 40 GB - 7200 RPM HDD (PriSlave): Seagate Barracuda ATA IV - ST380021A - ATA100 - 80 GB - 7200 RPM CD-RW (2ndMastr): Lite-On 52x24x52x (LTR-52246S) DVD-ROM (2ndSlave): Pioneer 16x DVD-116 (40x for CD-ROM)

After more testing, it turns out that the primary slave HDD (ST380021A) may have gone bad.

Change your power unit and see if that doesn't solve it.

The HDDs were tested on another PC and the results were the same. Also, the system is using an Antec PP412X. "Bill Freeman" wrote in message ...

Cables firmly plugged in? Loose cable plugs can cause this. Go to
BIOS and see if your system recognized the HDDs. "Adam" wrote in message . .. The HDDs were tested on another PC and the results were the same. Also, the system is using an Antec PP412X.

I'm pretty sure that the cables are not the problem since the problem occurs on two different systems repeatedly. "Bill Freeman" wrote in message ... Cables firmly plugged in?

Are your HDDs recognized in the BIOS?
