RT>I'm doing a setup of NT 4.0 Workstation, and upon installing into its
RT>own 400MB partition, the install program failed to locate & setup
RT>the CD-ROM drive. Install program first recognized a CD-ROM drive &
RT>reported, "Found: IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller."
RT>Then setup reported being "unable to locate a CD-ROM drive" and
RT>could not continue setup. I finally did get the program to install,
RT>but no CD-ROM is recognized. Tried to install using "SCSI Adaptors"
RT>area in "Control Panel" ... and no luck. The system is a Triton
RT>PCI M/B w/ Intel Pentium 133 & 64MB RAM. CD-ROM drive is Creative
RT>Labs IDE 6x Model "CD620E" and the Creative FTP site says the NT 4.0
RT>driver for that drive is included with the operating system (NT 4.0).
RT>The drive has the IDE interface & is connected to a SoundBlaster
RT>AWE 32 sound card ( using ISA bus slot). Could that be the problem?
RT>Seem like the setup program is trying to find the drive on one of
RT>the PCI IDE controller channels. Any help is greatly appreciated!
The root of the problem is that the IDE bus on the sound card is seen as a
tertiary or quadrenary (3rd or 4th) bus, which NT can't handle. You *MUST*
install the IDE CDROM drive on the primary or secondary IDE channels
ypically
found on the motherboard or an IDE card...
