How can I get Windows ME to recognise the LS120 as a single bootable drive. allocated as A: ?
Currently ME is allocating Drive A: and Drive E: for the LS120. The A: drive is increadible slow and is not recognised as a boot drive. I can not find anyactual drivers for LS120 for Win ME.
Motherboard = ABIT KT7A-Raid
CMOS set up: Drive A 1.44m 3.5 (if set at NONE, Windows allocates the A: as 5 1/4
FIRST BOOT DEVICE: LS120
SECOND BOOT DEvice: HDD
Third BOOT device: CD
Swap Floppy: Enabled
LS120 has been installed on seperate IDE as a Master

If the manufacturers web site has not updated the drivers to support windows ME,you may have to try changing the CMOS settings in boot sequence to
1=C:Drive
2=LS120-as a slave
3=CD
Swap Floppy Disabled
You can switch back if it does not work.

Sorry this did not work, as this still did not let me boot from drive A: in case of an emregency

i think it is possible to set a: as LS120 drive. This would make your LS120 drive bootable with normal disk or ls120 disk. Also, please take note tha LS120 drives DO read 1.44 floppy slower than normal floppy drives.

if you do not have a floppy drive, then do not set it at 1.44. Just leave it to none. Do not care what windows will set it to. I really haven't any chance to play with ls120 drives. Those problems that you've got could be the reason not to buy them...go change it with a zip drive instead.

Choose to boot c: a: cdrom
Reserve master for the HDD and every slave of the lowest ide device, for the ls device.
LS should boot with a standart 1.44 bootable drive. Once this happens you can make a bootable ls120 disk
