286 SDRAM
Gigabyte Motherboard build in Soundcard
Althon XP 1.1GHZ
TNT2 Video card
Primary Master -- 10GB Harddisk
Primary Slave -- CDRW
Secondary Master --20GB Harddisk
Secondary Slave -- DVD ROM

Here is the problem:
When I start computer, It wont detect my CDRW ( Primary Slave). It actually work before.

So far I had tested:
1. unlug IDE Cable , power on Cdrw on
Outcome
Run prefect
2.unlug power, IDE Cable On
Outcome
Run Prefect
3.Change /Update BIOS
Outcome
someting happen wont detect CDRW
4.Auto detect on Primary Slave ( power on and IDE cable in)
Outcome
sometimes it work! if lucky, now doesnt work anymore
after POST, it show
"" Pri Master HDD ERROR
RUN SETUP
Press F1 o Resume
Press F2 o Run Setup ""

note: Last time it happen before, I changed IDE cable (New one), first doesnt work, so change the cable with secondary ,and then change it back. It work great, not until pass few days.

Can someone tell me what wrong with my comupter???
 
I would recommend putting both hard drives on the same cable and both your cd drives on the same cable...

just make sure you set the jumper settings so that your devices are set by the jumpers on their backs...

another thing that might be a problem is one cable 1... your hdd might have a problem... but try the jumper settings first and go from there

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
