Computer can't recognise more than 4 IDE devices.
Have installed XP onto a new hard drive on my system.
Specs as follows -
Medion Athlon 1600+ 256Mb
Primary HD Seagate 80Gb 7200rpm
Slave HD Seagate 80Gb 5400rpm (partitioned into 40Gb split)
DVD Rom
CD RW
Floppy
Couldn't connect to Internet because pc tells me BIOS does not support network card. Before I reinstalled XP I had never had this issue before. Downloaded latest BIOS onto a floppy via other pc. Put disk into Medion to discover that Floppy is not being recognised. Subsequently discovered that DVD Rom is not being recognised either. Now i discover that my pc will not recognise more than four IDE devises.
Is there a way around this?
