SCSI drive on IDE3

jimmystoba · 11-30-03, 05:26 PM

I've just connected an IDE harddrive (IBM 40GB)to IDE3, but when I look in device manager windows see's it as a SCSI drive. When I look in 'My Computer' the drive isn't there.

Any ideas??

It's not a problem. The driver for many onboard RAID solutions will label the HDDs attached as SCSI, even when used as single drives.

Have you partitioned and formatted the drive using Disk Management? It may need to either be initialized or have a signiture written there as well.
