I have upgraded from an AMD(K6)200 CPU and older MB to an ECS K7AMA with a 950 Duron. I also copied my Hard Drive from a 1.2 to a 30 GB using DriveCopy and installed in the new box. I have transferred my 8x4x32 CD burner from old box to new. Everything booted fine on first try but I get errors in Device Manager. Yellow exclaimation marks on my Primary and Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo). If you check Properties it states "This device is not present, not working properly, or does not have all the
drivers installed." I have installed the hard disk controllers in several ways, updates, etc. ALI M5229 PCI Bus Master IDE Controller. The other problem is the CD burner is unusable. Try Software(Nero)worked prior to upgrade. I get anerror saying my "SCSI controller not supported by Nero." (I have no SCSI) CD Rom is OK reading. No reported burner problem on system. I have crucial data on this drive. No backup w/o burner.
I'm using 128 SDRAM, Win 98, 80 wire cable on hd to MB(Primary controller) set as Master, standard cable on Burner.

I suspect that there is a conflict from the drivers for your old motherboard.

Start by removing any driver or device control software from add/remove programs.
Run msconfig, and look for device drivers in Autoexec.bat and config.sys
Then, delete the drives, and then the IDE controllers from device manager.

When you re-boot, Windows should find the IDE controler, and you should manually direct it to the correct driver file.

If it still doesn't work, you may need to perform a seek and clean mission in the Windows folders, system files, and the registry.

You are looking for any software files or device calls for the chipset from the old motherboard.

I recommend backing up all files, and makeing a backup copy of the registry before you start editing it.

I have seen it suggested to delete the enum key under hkey_local_machine in the registry.
This effectively removes all installed hardware, so that Windows has to start over in setting up a driver base.

What I do, isremove all system hardware on the old PC before the last time I shut it down, and transfer the drive to the new PC.

To get Windows to load the correct motherboard drivers so that your ide controllers work try running Add/Remove Hardware in the control panel. It should detect that the drivers are different and then load new drivers. If that doesn't work You could check the motherboard manufacturer's website for new drivers and maybe they have an exe file that will automatically start the process.

Backup your documents and adressbook(maybe favorites) and format and re?nstall.
Before you cleaned up all your hardware settings, you could probably setup a new system ten times, with settings and all.

Good luck

Thanks to all for your response. Although none have provided an effective solution it has assisted in moving my quest further to an adequate answer. I've decided to set up a PC to duplicate this condition and attempt to resolve it through a series of hardware and software inductions. Thanks again
