[SOLVED] Secondary Master Problem

Fishy4Lif3 · 08-29-2009, 01:35 PM

Basically, my ribbon cable and hard drive both work fine. In the BIOS, it does not detect my hard drive which is connected to the Sec Master. If I put it in the Pri Master, it does detect, but I need that for my dvd drive to install XP on the hard drive.

So, any suggestions? All help is greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm about to give up. -.- I've tried everything I can think of and it still hasn't detected the sec master. I got it to detect once though, but then, it said not detected again. So I guess I'll try once more.....

Solved it myself no thanks to Tsf... -.- Now I have a new problem and going to go make a new thread. Btw, TsF can learn to respond quicker. -.-

My HP running under XP crashed after similar circumstances. How did you solve the problem?
