troubles with ide controllers after dele

windows 95b jumped into the compatibility-mode. although i have read a lot about so called solutions which i tried out on a similar occasion, they did not work. i will now reinstall windows 95b over the old one.

Reinstall over the old OS many times don't correct the problems.

Try this. Start regedit program. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\MF. Delete this key, shutdown your computer, turn it on and you'll receive back your IDE controllers. I did this twice on W98 system, there was no CD-rom and yellow circle on IDE controllers. Now everything is ok.
Good luck

Start by installing the motherboard / chipset mfgs. drivers.

Then, if you are still in msdos compatability mode, you will need to edit the registry.

Check out the registry edit for noeide posted at www.aumha.org

Or, check out these 2 Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.

the registry tip of deleting enum/mf did not work at all. but i found something interesting. please send me mail to europanorama@lycos.com and tell me what is the entry in registry: local machine/enum/mf
i will tell you what is in mine and what i guess. its very interesting. i am now on a second hardddisk. i cannot enter the internet in compatibility-mode. maybe thats the cause. i checked all network and proxy-entries. everything ok. but thats not the main problem.
