Here is my advice, since you have only one device per motherboard ide controller this config should work, this means you have some thing incorrect with the hardware. Open up the box and check out that the components are plugged in the correct sockets on the motherboard, that you are not using a 33 wire ribbon to the hard drive, get the mfg and model number off the id plate of the HD and look it up on the mfg web page to verify it's 100, there is a visual difference in ide ribbons, 33 has bigger wires and 66 has smaller wires and 66 of them. I do not know about 100 but it may also have a special ribbon. Check with motherboard manufacture web page for a bios, flash update and verify that you motherboard model does support ATA/100. It's time you play detective. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Andresen [mailto:jandrese@mitre.org] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 5:44 PM To: Joe & Fhe Barbish; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: New IBM drive setting problem?

The Hard Drive is on the primary and the CD-ROM is on the secondary. I am not using the slave on either controller Does this mean I can never plug my Hard Drive and CD-ROM in at the same time? This doesn't make sense to me. The Motherboard is very new (11/2001) and is supposed to support ATA/100 out of the box. P.S. Please CC me by email, thank you. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
