Troubleshooting
Auto Detect Hard Disks
In the BIOS Advanced Settings=> IDE Configuration, pick up any one from Primary
IDE Master & Slave/Secondary IDE Master & Slave ports, and press “Enter”. Setup
the selected IDE port and its access mode to “Auto”. This will force system to
automatically pick up the IDE devices that are being connected each time system
boots up.
Improper Disable Operation
There are too many occasions where users disable a certain device/feature in one
application through BIOS setting. These variables may not be set back to the original
values when needed. These devices/features will certainly fail to be detected.
When the above conditions happen, it is strongly recommended to check the BIOS
settings. Make sure certain items are set as they should be. These include the Serial
Port1/ Serial Port 2 ports, USB ports, external cache, on-board VGA and Ethernet.
It is also very common that users would like to disable a certain device/port to
release IRQ resource. A few good examples are
Disable Serial Port1 to release IRQ #4
Disable Serial Port2 to release IRQ #3
Etc…
A quick review of the basic IRQ mapping is given below for your reference.
