loading Win 98
I keep on getting this message below: CDR 101: Not reading Drive E (I have tried 2 different roms now and I am getting the same thing) The PC is not seeing my drives. I already put a post up about this but I am desperate and I also tried 2 other Windows boot up disks from the web site someone told me about in my other post..but to no avail. Could this be a mobo issue with a jumper somewhere? thanks i think I figured out the issue.
I think it helps if I format the hard drive first, right?? would this be it? Well it is formatting right now. -- Show quoteHide quoteKevin Oye Oye's Outlet Toronto, Ontario, Canada Local: (416) 850-6972 Long Distance: 1-(800) 791-OYES (6937) http://stores.ebay.ca/Oyes-Outlet oyesout***@rogers.com "Bacchus" <kdoye2***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:7JOdnS_9Ofq_ys7fRVn-rQ@rogers.com... > I just built up a PC for a friend and I having issues loading Win 98SE. > > I keep on getting this message below: > > CDR 101: Not reading Drive E (I have tried 2 different roms now and I am > getting the same thing) The PC is not seeing my drives. > > I already put a post up about this but I am desperate and I also tried 2 > other Windows boot up disks from the web site someone told me about in my > other post..but to no avail. > > Could this be a mobo issue with a jumper somewhere? > > thanks > > > On Tue, 5 Apr 2005 23:38:37 -0400, "Bacchus"

Well it is formatting right now. formatted, the other drives will show up and work (or not, in this case) either way. Bacchus wrote:

This configuration sounds correct: Primary Controller: 1 Hard Drive set to "master" Secondary Controller: 1 Optical Drive set to "master" If you have "selecting cables" -- the are usually stamped with the words "Master" or "Slave" next to the connectors -- you could set the drive that uses it to "Cable Select," as long as you have it plugged into the right connector. What exactly is "selecting cables" that is new to me.

> What exactly is "selecting cables" that is new to me. Most drives have a "cable select" setting on their jumpers. If you use those settings, you have to have a cable that will determine which drive is the master and which is the slave. You can often tell if you have one of those cables because "Master" and/or "Slave" is stamped right on the cable, next to the connector. still not working. I am getting severely frustrated now.

What's wrong with setting the BIOS to boot directly off the Windows 98 SE
Installation CDROM? Unless its ancient hardware you have there which doesn't support a bootable CDROM, this is the easiest way to go about it. Do you know how to do this/have you tried?

You need to
eliminate all the possible "suspects" one at a time until you arrive at the culprit. The usual suspects (in no particular order): Incorrect BIOS setting. Defective secondary IDE connection on the motherboard. Wrong jumper for secondary IDE (if applicable). Incorrect IDE cable attachment to secondary IDE (pin 1 in wrong orientation) Incorrect IDE cable attachment to CD drive (pin 1 in wrong orientation) Bad IDE cable. CD drive jumpered wrong. CD drive defective. Check this out: http://www.computing.net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/164828.html Beyond that is beyond me. Good luck.
