Looks like may of gone 'too' far ,
pc is running using sata-2 hard drives (x2) , installed is the
intel ICH10R driver . gigabyte m-board set to achi? / ide ... hard
drives c-d/e-f , 1 sata dvd 1 ide dvd drive
I now find that I cannot run any of the windows boot tools ..
comes up with 'cannot access volume' and then boots
tried to run the win-xp install disk .. runs .. then after
installing the sata drive . comes up with error message , linked
to volume data drive D and stalls .. with no drive .. cannot
access the volume
so at this point , cannot run the install cd to change anything
and the only way to dfrag the drives is to use the on line MS-
tune up tool .
I can see reference to the problems on the web .... with no
'fix'
SO .. how to get the pc back .. If I set the MB to IDE , it
will see the drives , but what will windows do ?
If I run set up , assume it will revert to the legacy ide
drivers ?
Is there a way to run the disk tools , with the pc as-is ,
anything that can be downloaded as the windows versions are out
of reach ??
tnx - G.
