Windows Forum / Windows Me / Hardware / October 2004ide problem
I need some help My PC worked fine with Windows ME until I tried upgrading from a CD Rom to a CDR/WR. My D drive no longer is recognized and in Device Manager, the Primary and Secondary IDE Contollers are marked with a yellow X. I have tried downloading Intel drivers , but there does not seem to be any supported by Windows ME. Any help with this would be appreciated  SignatureUser from the Great White North is the CD the D: drive? If so - is the drive recognised by the BIOS during the POST routine? Did you remember to set the jumpers correctly for your system? - if the HD and the CD are on the same cable, then the HD will need to be configured as the Master, and the CD as Slave.

The Drive and CD are on separate cables and the jumper is set as a slave. The CD ROM always worked in this configuration before I upgraded. > is the CD the D: drive? > If so - is the drive recognised by the BIOS during the POST routine?

I have looked at a lot of the similar issues posted on message boards and am still without a solution > If the CD-ROM is on its own cable, then is must be set as Master, not slave. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >> > Windows ME. > >> > Any help with this would be appreciated OK boot to Safe Mode Open device Manager Remove ALL HD's Remove ALL CD devices Remove the Master IDE Controller (what's left? - make a note!) Reboot to Normal Mode- windows will reinstall required drivers See if that fixes it.
