whats up?
i put an old ata66 15gb in an older PII system (440LX chipset) that has WinXp on an ata33 4.3gb.
they are both on the same IDE channel with an 80 conductor cable.
the mobo only supports ata33.... i was under the impression that the channel will work at the speed of the slow drive on that channel, in my case the ata33 drive.
i boot up... and bios has no problem detecting the drive, yet it cant find the boot sector of my ata33 drive.
that leaves me to 2 questions:
1) what up wit dat?
2) any work around suggestions?
