[RESOLVED] Ok! So now what! IDE drives set up as SCSI in Device Manager and Registry?

[jtcochran]

So I finally fix the bug about having my drive refered to as a "Generic type 47" by updating my drive controller. Problem is now all my IDE drives(2) and CDROM are considered SCSI. My SCSI drives (2) are fine, in fact, I have tham set up as removable because they are in removable chassis; termination and unit IDs set appropriately.
The damn CPU is going to die I swear! The poor thing is constantly at 100% usage. I enabled UDMA on my controller and tweaked the settings to allow a little bit of room. I have upped my CPU voltage to 3.2 from 2.9v. I figured this would create a cleaner logic signal from my processor. There is a VERY large fan attached as well as a case fan.
Norton has my logical throughput at 16(r) and 12(w)MB/s.
Here is the skinny on the machine:
CPU--166Mhz Pentium(nonMMX)
running 200Mhz (Clock X3)
Bus speed 66Mhz-- semi-stable at 75Mhz and 150Mhz CPU clock(X2).
Controllers -- VIA VT82C586a/b IDE Bridge,
VT82c586a ISA Bridge, VT82C585VP PCI Controller.
I went into the registry, and sure as ?#@$, there they were, SCSI. Now, I don't know if this has anything to do with my CPU working like a Programmer on payday, but just for S's and G's, does anyone have a good idea how to remedy the problem?
This, by the way, is not my "business end" machine. I use this machine for test and abuse.

When you updated the controller driver, you installed the VIA busmaster drivers, right? Whenever you install the third party busmastering drivers, it will list the ide drives as scsi. Basically, this is because if your controller uses a .mpd driver instead of a .pdr, win9x considers the devices scsi in the registry. As for device manager originally displaying the drive as a generic type 47, that's normal. It's displays the drive id as what the bios reports it as. Most ide drives are listed as type 47. It makes no difference. The registry key can be edited to make it read differntly, but it's not important..
