IDE Device Conflict??? |
|
|
I have an IDE (maybe EIDE) Sony DVD +/-RW that will not read CD ROMs or
Audio CDs. It does read & write DVDs.
The machine also has a SCSI CD and SCSI CD RW and 2 SCSI HDDs.
The DVD used to work properly.
An IDE (maybe EIDE) HDD was added later.
The problem may well have started with the addition of the IDE HDD, not
sure.
I've always used exclusively SCSI in my desktops so I'm ignorant about IDE.
Is it possible that the addition of the HDD has caused the problem with the
DVD?
If yes, any advice? Web links to study?
If no, any other places to look, things to try?
Thanks for at least reading this,
BF |

Not the specific problem you are having. Do you have a floppy drive? If so
boot off of a Win98 startup disk and see if you can read DVD's and CD-ROM's.
If you can read everything then it's a problem in the OS and not with the
drive.

Google for 'cdrom upper lower filters'. This is a common OS problem.
