Un-assgined disk

[Ayman Altounji]

Here's my prob:

I have an "old" compaq, 9,1Gb 7200 rpm disc, i had to put a convertor on it so i could use it with my other drives. Convertor SCA-68
80 pins --> to --> 68 pins. 40mb/s

The disc is detected in the boot sequence.
IDE-0 IBM SB737372 -HARD DISK 0-
IDE-1 COMPAC blabla -------------> HERES THE PROB
// more stuff, all assigned tho
IDE-7 PLEXTOR cdrom blabla
IDE-8 PLEXTOR burner blabla

No drive is assigned!!??, resulting in windows in a non-accesable drive. So no drive letter, no drive in windows-explorer.

In configuration->system->disk drives, he finds the compaq, but again no drive-letters assigned.

Can somebody please help me!
Very much tnx in advance..

From your description it looks as if you're trying to install a SCSI drive on an IDE controller . This is not a supported configuration .
