After installing an IDE cd rom drive the machine found it o.k. and everything was fine, after rebooting it told me that there were hardware conflicts with my "standard floppy drive" and my Intel IDE Controller. Win 95 would not let me change the settings for either device and if I removed the "standard floppy drive" windows just reloaded it after booting up. Besides I need that device as much as the other. I do have a secondary port on my mother board but if I plug into this windows never sees the cd rom drive. I used auto detect in the bios and it did not find it. how do I turn on this secondary. The bios is AWARD. circa 1995.
set your cd rom jumper for master.(must set your Hard disk to master to)
connect your hard disk to IDE 1
connect your cd-rom to IDE 2
restart your computer.
after that check your cmos setup, get to auto to primary and secondry master.
try to install your cd-rom..
if not working try..
reinstall your windows again..
or if not working again
format your computer and install back your windows
or use win98 startup disk...
