Subject: [LUG] Hardware question



Hi, My motherboard has tweo IDE sockets, I expect like a lot 
of mbs. Problem 
is the secondary IDE slot seems completly useless!. I have 
yet to get any 
device to work through it. It even messes up the 
configuration of the drives 
on IDE one if I try to use it. DOes anyone have any 
experience of this? I 
have tried various configurations using the BIOS....every 
configuration I 
can think of.. Also I have a SCSI cd drive that I'm trying to 
use. THe 
device is seen properly during boot but ubuntu doesn't see 
the devise. ANy 
ideas about this aswell?
Cheers, Jonny D,

To prove the socket header you need to unplug all Disks, put your single primary disk in the Secondary header, boot and goto BIOS and do an AUTO find disks.  If this shows no disks then check again the jumpers on the one disk you have installed and correct!  reboot,   if still no disks then the header is blown and you need a new MO BO.
