I just got an Asus a7a266 and put the 2 HDs from my old sys on, running 98. Now it shows C: as the main drive, D: shows 0 used and 0 free, E: as my backup and personal stuff drive and the CDROM as F:. the drives were shared when the switch was made,that's all I can think of. there is also an "unknown device" I cannot figure out.
Any thoughts?
Thanx

when your machine is booting up, press (delete ) key which will take you into bios setup,check your options and look for (autodetect hard drives ) or similar, depends on your machine! then go to (save settings and exit) this should sort it out.

it looks like its picking up on a previously installed H/D which aint there. if this isnt the case, have you checked the jumper settings on the H/D make sure set to main drive C: (MASTER) and second drive D: (SLAVE)

hope this helps

Just for kicks, make sure that its not just a partition showing up as another drive. Use fdisk from the command prompt to check.
