I am putting together or should say reconfiguring a PC for charity and am
having a problem with it getting to recognize a 2nd hard drive under Windows-95.
System is a generic 486DX100 with 16 MB Ram, has 2 hard drives, (1st one is 1.6GB, 2nd one is 850MB), 4X CD-ROM, etc.
It WAS running DOS/Windows3.1 with no problems!
Drives were configured as : #1-HD=C: & D:, #2-HD=E: & F:, CD-ROM=G:
After FDISKing and Formatting the hard drives (#1 as C: & D:, #2 as E:),
using Windows-95 Fdisk & Format.
I loaded Windows-95/SR2 with no problems, except that Windows does not recognize or report that the 2nd hard drive exists and both MY COMPUTER and Windows Explorer just hang when executed. Also, starting in native DOS mode and trying to do achkdsk or scandisk on drive E: also just hangs the system.
If I turn off the 2nd hard drive in the BIOS, Win. Explorer & MY COmputer work fine and report just C: & D:.
Thsi is driving me crazy!!! Please help!!!!
Thank you VERY much!!!Sincerely,
Rob
