Secondary IDE controller driver for a Deskpro4000

[<unbeatable737>]

I have a Deskpro 4000 with Windows 98 installed, and the Secondary IDE controller has an exclamation mark beside it, Code 10. Can anyone help? I only need a driver. This is very important!

You might try going here to <a href="http://www.compaq.com/support/files/deskpro/us/index.html" target="_blank">Compaq's website for DeskPro downloads</a>.

Do you know what devices you have tied to that secondarey IDE? Is it your CD-ROM drive?

I think I would try booting in Safe Mode...remove that IDE device with the exclamation mark...reboot...let WinDoze find it and load the drivers again. If it still fails, you might looking at <a href="http://www.compaq.com/support/files/deskpro/us/download/155.html" target="_blank">Deskpro IDE PD-CD Support</a>. It says it is for Win95 but should work fine for you in Win98 also.

Let us know how it goes...Good Luck!<br />DonJ

I tried removing the IDE controller, but it said that I needed to remove the root. So I did, but the CD-ROM still didn't work, so I had to reload Win98. It's a good thing that the IDE works in DOS, otherwise I would have to looking through all the CAB files. Then I tried looking in the Compaq support, but I couldn't find what I need, mostly because I don't know the Product Number. Then I tried the Win95 driver, but that's the driver I already have! So, right now, I don't know what to do any more.
