Wird Hard Drive Problem
Hi i have 2 IDE hard drives installed in my system. I just got a program for my computer that tells me that in order for it to work to it full potential i need to make shure my drives can use DMA channels. So i go into device manager (windows XP pro) and click IDE ATA/ATAPI section to find my hard drvies but they are not there. Instead there is just a NVIDIA nForce IDE Controller. Then i see a section in device manager for Disk Drives. My two hard drives are in this section but they are listed as Maxtor 6 Y080P0 SCSI Dick Device, and WDC WD12 00JB-00GVA0 SCSI Disk Device. But the hard drives are definalty NOT SCSI drives. Any one have any ideas why they are appearing as SCSI drive to windows.
Windows XP professional Service Pack 2
Nividia nForce 2 mother board

Re: Wird Hard Drive Problem
Its probably the way your NVIDIA nForce IDE Controller is displaying them to the OS?
Is that a secondary controller card or the mobo?
You can get HD DMA info in the BIOS or look it up on your HD manufacturer's website.
