[SOLVED] IDE1 and IDE2 problem
Hi All
This is my first post. So be gentle with me.
I have 4 Windows OSes on 4 different drives.
I use osl2000 multibooter, which presents a menu (after the post and bios have finished but before a windows loader gets called). This menu allows me to select a hard drive and then osl2000 boots up to that hard drive for me. This all works fine.
Now the problem.
I have hdd1 and hdd2 on the IDE1 cable (as marked on the MB).
I have hdd3 and hdd4 on the IDE2 cable (as marked on the MB).
When I boot up using hhd1 (on IDE1) I can see all 4 drives in Windows Explorer. Great.
When I boot up using hdd3 or hdd4 (on IDE2) I can only see hdd3 and hdd4 in Windows Explorer. Not so great.
In the past I was using the built in Windows dual boot method and had the same problem on this machine. In that case I only had two drives and the IDE2 boot would not let me see the IDE1 drive.
Has anyone come across this quirk/problem and know what I am talking about and maybe know how to deal with it? Is it just me?
Many thanks
