Hi all
I upgraded to XP Pro from 98 and all is absolutely great - an incredibly stable OS... aside from 2 problems!
When I boot up the PC, if the modem (external, on COM1) is not turned on before booting into windows, the modem is nopt visible to XP. Its listed in Hardware Manager but any dial up attempt brings the error: "Must configure a modem" or some such.
Secondly, more often than not on a first boot up the system does not recognise my CD writer (SCSI) or DVD drive (IDE). Simply restarting through XP makes them work again. As above, even if they are reported as not being there, they are visible in hardware Manager.
Any suggestions? Its really frustrating!
