ok..heres the set up..
abit bp6 mobo with dual 533 celerons
128 megs ram
10 gig maxtor hard drive (not udma 66)
agp video
pci audio
primary ide port :
master cd-rw , slave cd rom
secondary ide port :
empty , unless you count the lil port that you use for the floppy drive..
primary udma/66 ide port:
maxtor 10 gig hard drive
problem is , with that set up , i get a "hard disk not found or properly powered up" message after it boots from the last install dick (4).. when i connect the hard drive to the primary ide port as master and the cd-rom as slave , it works fine...but i heard that you shouldnt have a hard drive and cd-rom on the same ide port.. i cant seem to get the udma/66 ide ports functioning properly.. anyone have any ideas ?
the ide cables the mobo came with are screwy.. three in total..one has 2 floppy sized connectors , and one has 2 hard drive/cd-rom type connects.. the last one is for the udma/66 .. shouldnt the idea connection be floppy and hard drive on the primary ide port , and the cd-r and cd-rom on the secondary ? i dunno..im new at this..
also , i couldnt get windows 98 to install from the bootdisk..weird..i just suck..
