CDRW not being detected as pri or sec slave...
But it is being detected as pri or sec master. The problem is that I have
two harddrives (6GB and 4GB) as pri master and sec master respectively. Neither of the hd's are detected if I set the jumpers to pri or sec slave with the cdrw as master. My old cdrw is still detected if I set it as slave, but its cd tray is broken, hence the new purchase, a Samsung 52x24x52x. PC has mainboard PCChips M748MR, 400MHz P2 with 128MB RAM. The pc is fairly old, so I don't plan on buying a new hd. Does anyone have any suggestions of a configuration that will have the cdrw set as slave? Is it possible that the Samsung cdrw cannot run as a slave? To clarify: if I set jumpers so that CDRW = pri master and HD1 = pri slave, then HD1 is no longer detected. If I set jumpers so that HD2 = sec master and CDRW = sec slave, then CDRW is not detected and I get an "ATAPI INCOMPATIBLE Press F1 to Resume" error msg. Similar scenario with HD1 = pri master and CDRW = pri slave. If I set jumpers so that HD1 = pri master and HD2 = pri slave, then HD2 is no longer detected. If I set jumpers so that CDRW = sec master and HD1 = pri master while disconnecting HD2, the CDRW is detected and works fine. Pearlf |
