Computer Commando Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 HDD#0 is 40GB and has 6 partitions, #1-Win2k=4GB#2-Win98SE=2GB#3-Win2k3=2GB#4-Data=6GB#5-Downloads and Uninstalled Programs=25GB#6-Swap, Windows paging file=1GB.Partitions #1-#3 all start within the 1024 cylinder boundary and are all bootable primary partitions. HDD#1 is 6GB, one partitionHDD#2 is 2GB SCSI, one partition, Adaptec ISABus SCSI CardWhen booting from #1, Win2k will see all drives and all partitions. When booting from #3, Win2k3 sees HDD#0 partitions, #3, #4, #5, #6, (#1 and #2 are hidden, as it should be) but does not see HDD#2, The Adaptec SCSI card is in the device driver list but the disk drive is not in the list. BootMagic controls the boot and is configured exactly the same as for the Win2k partition. The next thing to try is to move Win2k3 to HDD#1. HDD#2 is old and slow (SCSI-2).This is not a "show stopper", just can't figure out why this is happening. It may have nothing to do with Win2k3.

amdphr3@kXP Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 It could be that because the scsi card is so old, win2k3 doesn't support it, some ISA cards cause problems with winxp/2k3, i had an old isa sound card and it kept making wi2k3 and xp freeze all the time, I would suggest replacing the card with a PCI scsi card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Commando Posted June 18, 2003 Author Share Posted June 18, 2003 It could be that because the scsi card is so old, win2k3 doesn't support it...No, Win2k3 does see the SCSI card in the Device Manager. I can't get Win2k3 to see my USB2.0 hard drive either. No problem with Win2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdphr3@kXP Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 yeh i just read the specs/prob properly lol oopsbootmagic prolly isnt compatible with win2k3, or even ur hdd is not compatible with it as its old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visentinel Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Ide Say u need a newer SCSI Card Even if it see's it .. it still must have issues reading the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Commando Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 It has nothing to do with the card. Works fine in Win2k.Why doesn't the USB2.0 work? It's a brand new PCI card and also works with Win2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computer Commando Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 UPDATE: I unistalled 3rd party driver and Win2k3 plugged and played the USB2.0 PCI card and the USB2.0 external hard drive. Even works through my USB2.0 4-port hub. I don't know why it worked today. I previously installed and unstalled the 3rd party driver, 3-4 times.
