I have a Dell Poweredge that I need to put 2 Diamond 120 GB drives into for mirroring or duplexing.
I have tried every configuration / combination Master / Slave, seperate controlers, cable select, ect. BIOS sees them both every time (even upgraded to latest BIOS version). Windows 2000 however is a diffrent story, in Device Manager it shows the second drive with a bang and it says:
This device cannot work properly until you restart your computer. (Code 14)
The Microsoft resolution is to do a cold boot which has no effect (cold/warm reboot error remains).
The only issue I can think could have a possible effect is the fact that these are ATA-133 drives and the motherboard maxes at ATA-100; but since the drives should be backward compatible (and one drive is running the operating system already) I just do not think that is it.
Ideas?
