A7V266-E and Promise IDE
After moving my components to a new case, I'm having problems getting
Win XP to boot with a HDD attached to one of the Promise IDE connectors. Old case: Primary 1: Seagate HDD Primary 2: Seagate HDD Secondary 1: CD-RW Secondary 2: CD-Rom Promise 1: Seagate HDD This configuration was working fine until the Primary 2 HDD got corrupted. Along with replacing the drive, I upgraded the case and power supply. New Case: Primary 1: Seagate HDD Primary 2: Maxtor HDD Secondary 1: CD-RW Secondary 2: CD-Rom Promise 1: Seagate HDD Promise 2: Seagate HDD (When returned from warranty replacement) I've tried switching the Secondary and Promise cables. Win XP will boot and recognize all drives with the CD drives on the Promise controller, but the CD-RW will not write. It gives me a blue screen and reboots. The bios recognizes the HDD and loads the Promise driver, but with the HDD on the Promise controller, it locks up on the windows screen or after loading mup.sys during safe mode. How can I get XP to boot and recognize the HDDs on the Promise controller? I just don't get it, it worked just a week ago. I also switched from round cables to flat ribbon cables on the recommendation of a Seagate Tech. Could cables be the problem? If so, why does the same ribbon cable work when attached to the Secondary IDE channel? Or, how can I get the CD-RW to work on the Promise controller? Thanks for any help! |

A long shot - disable P&P OS in the bios - fairly sure just rebooting will get the settings to stick. Your IRQ assignment will probably change in the process. I would advice anyone using XP to use this setting - whether or not later m/b's have reversed this setting, I'm not sure of.

I set the PnP bios setting off. Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
I also tried installing the latest Promise IDE driver. Still no luck. The bios is recognizing the drive during the boot sequence, but it still locks up at the Windows splash screen.
