Hi and Welcome,

First, we need to know a little more about your system. How old is it? Do you know what brand of motherboard you have? What is the date of your BIOS? What is your operating system?

We need to figure out if your BIOS will support an AUTO setting for your devices. If you can set your IDE devices to AUTO in the BIOS, the system should recognize all devices.

Do you have your smaller harddrive partioned and formatted?

Post back with answers to the above and we'll go from there.

Cheers,

Big Blue 66

Um, I must have been drunk at the time.

Sorty , here goes :
PIII 550 , mother soyo 6vba , 128 mb , the udma66 disk , 20gb one partition , the other disk , 2.5 gb same just one ´partition.
I´m using win98SE

Hey,

When you say "u66 controller", do you mean an add-on card, or are you using the motherboard primary IDE connection?

First, check the cables to make sure they are secure on the smaller harddrive and CD-ROM. I assume that you have double-checked the jumpers to make sure they are set correctly?

Second, boot up and go into your BIOS setup. Under the Standard CMOS setup, make sure all IDE devices are set to Auto Detect, or Auto, whichever you have.

I've got some errands to run so hopefully someone else can pick up where we left off here.

Good luck.
