Hi:
I don't know if this is a Registry, SCSI or setup problem, a combination, or something else...
I transported three SCSI hard drives (1, 2 & 2 partitions) and a SCSI CD-ROM to a new motherboard. (The new setup leaves out a clicked-out Jaz drive, which was the i:\ drive with the old setup, and adds a new graphics board and a new sound board -- I know, it should have been one step at a time, but circumstances compelled otherwise.)
On booting, the Adaptec SCSI BIOS says all the drives, including the CD-ROM, are there. An Adaptec utility says they're set up correctly. (One drive is terminated.)
Norton File Manager sees them all, including the i:\ CD-ROM, but My Computer, Windows Explorer and other apps don't see the CD-ROM unless i:\ is entered on their command lines and a CD-ROM can then be viewed. In Explorer, the i:\ CD drive then appears at the top of the list -- but it's gone if Explorer is closed and reopened.
In Device Manager, the CD-ROM's properties say the "device is working properly."
I've removed and added the drives and CD-ROM drive, seperately and together. I've swapped cable connectors. I've taken the CD's letter assignment up to Z.
And the Update Driver Wizard can't find or list the (Win 98 2) CD....
Any help would be appreciated.
