Hi...
Quick question...
Did this issue start all of a sudden? Or after
a specific event (like the installation of a program
or software upgrade)?
One thing you might try...
In the BIOS, try resetting it to the "Load Fail-Safe Defaults"
then shut down (power off) and re-start.
What OS are you using??
If you are in WinXP/2000...check that the Secondary IDE
Settings (in Device Manager) are set appropriately for your
devices (probably DMA Enabled).
In Win98/SE/ME...the same applies although the method to
get to the device manager is different.
Also, if your in WinXP/2000 you might check to see if
the Disk Management (right click on the My Computer icon
and select "Manage" then Disk Management) sees anything
connected on the IDE channel.
Lastly...
You might check in the BIOS that your Secondary IDE devices
(in the Standard CMOS setup) are on "Auto".
I presume that from your message, you've checked/verified the
"Integrated Peripherals" area and that the appropriate settings are
in place for your system.
Let me know how it goes for you....
