Its took me days but ive just relised why my CD burner wasn't working. switched from secondary IDE to Primary and there it is.
But i loose my second hard drive does anyone have a fix for this?
I have an MSI(sis964) MotherBoard and checked Bios everything is switched on...
I need my second hard Drive for storage as the image is only 6 Gig.
Help Needed please if anyone knows please reply.
Full Version: Secondary IDE
I have two drives, each with two partitions each. It seems that OS X are very random in when it recognizes the drives. Usually all four partitions are mounted on the desktop, but sometimes (right now for example) only three are mounted (which one is missing is totally random). So maybe you should just try reboot?

Ive rebooted heaps its definatly the Secondary IDE it does not see, as i have swapped cables and and it then recognises the drives but on on primary IDE.
But thanks anyway...
SIS chipsets has issues, som things work some things not.
ok i had the same problem and this is how i fixed it
you cant have two hard disks or two cd/dvd drives on the first ide channel or it will lose the second drive on the first ide channel
this doesnt happen to the second ide channel ... atleast for me
so just set it up with
first ide channel
dvd/cd (master)
hdd (slave)
second ide channel
dvd/cd (master)
hdd (slave)
well it worked for me hope it helps you out
