Secondary Slave & Master

my pc just crashed and everytime i restart it (my pc) can't/doesn't authenticate my secondary slave and master, which basically means no DVD & CD Drive for me.

anyone has an idea what to do?

Arrow Re: Secondary Slave & Master

  1. Check BIOS. UDMA Options set to auto? Disable for testing purposes. Try the auto-identify-hdd thing on this secondary bus.

  2. Cable-Check. Everything plugged in? Flat cables, power, etc? Both plugs on each side?

  3. Device-Test. Unplug DVD and CD drives seperately, test them, see if they work or do make funny blinking things with their LEDs.

  4. Swap around the HDD to secondary bus maybe, or attach a DVD / CD drive to primary slave...

  5. Get new drives to test, or take your drives to somebody with a confirmed working motherboard.

In that order...

Oh and do scandisk / chkdsk, it's nice and can save you from very annoying and catastrophic errors on your HDD that might have occured during the crash.
