Hello,
I have a gigabyte ga-ep35c-ds3r motherboard with version F2 award bios and I
want to have 2 ide hard drives connected at the same time to the single and only
ide connector.
The problem is that the seagate master will boot only on its own.
When a samsung (slave jumpered drive) is attached to the second ide
connector on the single cable it gives a non system disk error!
The gigabyte is a new board with the old hard drives transfered across
physically from an old asus motherboard. This arrangement was fine on
the old asus motherboard.
I have checked the jumpers are correct with the seagate being a master
and the samsung set as slave. The samsung is picked up correctly in the bios
along with the seagate drive.
So why is it not working?
It was fine in the asus motherboard so why not the gigabyte?
thanks for your time
Martin N
