Hey, this has happened on my new AMD64 rig within the last 48-96 hours or so.... my master on the IDE1 channel, which is an NEC DVD R/W... has disappeared, at least from within XP....
Now I know it was there when I built my rig, because I would play DVD's in either player (slave is a SONY CD/DVDR).... and I am about to go to BIOS to autodetect, see if that works.
My question to you guys is what next if that does not work - also what caused it to get "lost"?
I have had this before on an old Duron and it was eventually only resolved by physically unplugging, rebooting, then replugging the drive and rebooting - and Voila - drive was found again as new hardware.....
Who thinks that is what I will have to do here?
