The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

New Hard Drive problems

Asked by DoughBoy in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: matshita, drive

Hi All,
 
  My computer is a Compaq Deskpro 2000.
Original HD is a 3GB Western Digital.  On this HD,  I have 2 partitions.  The first (C Drive) boots to Win95.  The second partition (D Drive) boots to WinNT.

   I have the second hard drive installed,  a Seagate 8.4 GB.  However,  some really strange things are happening.
 
   What I have checked:
1) Latest version of BIOS
2) Correct Jumper settings
3) Correct Cable Configuration according to the manual and directions
 
 
  Original Configuration:
Single Hard Drive - 2 partitions
1) C Drive - Windows 95 - Active Partition
2) D Drive - Windows NT
 
  New Configuration:
1) Win95 and Windows NT on Master Hard drive with 2 partitions
2) Slave (new) Hard drive has 6 partitions of about 1.4 GB per partition.
 
  Strange symptoms:
1) When I boot to Windows 95,  C and D drive are same as original.  However,  the CD ROM is NOT found. All other partitions are viewable.
2) When I boot to Windows NT,  C drive is the same,  but what was the D drive in 95 becomes the I drive in NT and the D Drive becomes a partition on the new hard drive with all other partitions viewable.  So,  many of the program settings are messed up.  The CD ROM is, however, found.
3) If I login to the network,  the F drive will be a network drive and hide the F partition of the new drive.  All other partitions are visible. If I do not login to the network,  the F drive is seen as a partition on the new hard drive.
 
  The type of CD-ROM is a Compaq 24x CD ROM revision ZD18 MATSHITA CD- CR-5850.

1) How do I keep the same drive names no matter which OS is booted?
2) How do I view all partitions when logged into the network?
3) How do I always see the CD-ROM?
4) How do I install more operating systems?  I need on the new drive - 1 Win95, 2 Win 98, 2 Win NT, 1 LINUX.

No recommendations for third party software unless you give me time to buy it,  install it, and test it,  then give you points.
Thanks in advance for your help.
