hd SOMETIMES detected wrong
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2003 5:28 pm
Hi,
A few months ago I wanted to partition a harddisk (secondary master) with partition magic. It didnt work out good, but the biggest problem was that from that day that harddisk was not detected correct anymore most of the time. However, sometimes it was!
I put another harddisk as master device on the secondary IDE and for a few weeks it worked ok, but now also this harddisk is sometimes not recognized correctly after which i cannot access it in windows.
The name in the bios menu has been changed into a very strange string.
Will clearing the cmos help, because sometimes the harddisk is the detected CORRECTLY??
I have an ABIT KT7 motherboard with Award modular BIOS V6.00PG

the hardisk is 40 gb maxtor, but another harddisk had the same problem. (when i put the hd in another computer it works without any problem)
thanks for your help
