Greetings,
I recently had to replace a hard drive in a PC due to a complete failure. I loaded Win95B from scratch and everything went normally. After it was loaded and configured I decided to put the damaged HD in the machine in an attempt to recover data from it. I set it up as the secondary slave, w/the CD ROM as the secondary master. When I restarted the PC, as Windows was starting I got a message that basically said that it would have to boot in compatibility mode due to the HD I had just added. I clicked OK.
I was unable to salvage any data from the bad drive, so I removed it. Now the PC always comes up in compatibility mode. I have tried changing CMOS settings and removing the HD Controllers from the control panel and allowing it to re-detect them. But it still comes up in compatibility mode and three of the entries under Disk Controllers in the device manager have yellow exclamation points on them. The only one that doesn't is the "Standard ESCI/IDE Controller".
I checked the Troubleshooting tab under Performance\Troubleshooting and all of the boxes are cleared.
How can I get this thing to come back up in normal mode?
Thanks,
