I've tried several drivers (VIDE-CDD, OAKCDROM) with no success. ![]() I tried to enable secondary IDE controller on the mobo and attach the CD-ROM drive to it but, when I did so, the system didn't boot up or freezed when loading the CD-ROM driver (which worked fine before Promise controller install). I'm able to boot from an MSDOS partition in the first hard drive (because hard drives were detected OK) but MSDOS freezes if I try to load any CD-ROM driver (via config.sys menus). It detected both master/slave hard drives attached to IDE1 connector of the card, but the CD-ROM drive, which was attached to controller's IDE port #2, wasn't detected. ![]() et voilà, controller card info appeared during POST. Then I decided to get rid of the PCI Network card. Tried for a while, changing some BIOS settings with no luck : controller's BIOS didn't show during POST (I have another Promise card running fine in a SS7 setup). It was set up as slave at the mobo's secondary IDE controller.Īt first, the Promise controller simply refused to run and the system freezed during POST, so I did the following :ġ) Disabled integrated IDE controller (both primary and secondary) from within Award BIOSĢ) Assigned IDE to PCI-SLOT4 using INTA & INTB CD-ROM drive is a Creative CD2422E (24x) CDROM (IDE interface) and was working fine before I decided to install the controller.
