Can't get IDE drive to work with K8N NEO2

I built my computer two months ago.  The only hard drive I installed was a Samsung 160GB SATA.  The Windows XP installation was flawless and the system has worked perfectly ever since.  
This past week I decided to install my old Western Digital IDE hard drive.  I connected it to PATA port 1 on the motherboard.  It's jumpered as a Primary device and connected to the primary port on the IDE cable.  
The problem is that when I boot the computer with the IDE drive connected it will hang on the gray Platinum screen for around 5 minutes.  If I hit DEL and enter BIOS after 5 minutes I can see that the drive is detected and the boot order already was set for the SATA drive first and the IDE drive second.  Then if I reboot it hangs on the Platinum screen again for five minutes.  When it finally clears that I get messages indicating that no boot device is available.  If I shut down, disconnect the IDE drive, and reboot with only the SATA drive connected it boots flawlessly.  
I checked my device manager and see that the nvidia nforce3 250 Parallel ATA controller and Serial ATA controller drivers are installed.  
Is there anything else I can check or do to get the computer to boot with an IDE drive connected?  
Thanks!

WD drives are special compared to others .
If they are alone on the ide channel they shall not be jumpered as master .
This is only when it is sharing the channel with another ide/atapi device .
Instead the jumper shall be removed , they call it single drive jumpering (SD).
And the reason why bios get hung is :
It finds a master jumpered drive , and since it does it will try to detect the slave
but there isn't one .

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • Can't get out.print to work with XML jsp tags

    <jsp:scriptlet>

    I can't get this script to work with the XML stype jsp tags. It keeps telling me the <jsp> tags are untermintaed. Is there a special trick to fix this or do I have to use the non-XML type tags?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to put the extra " in the out.println text string. :-/

  • How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

    In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

    No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
    Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.

  • How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7

    How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7. It worked with the previous operating system

    Not sure if this is the same problem others are having, but I used to play music on my Philips Fidelio by opening the Music app on my ipad and clicking on the box with the triangle (which has now disappeared in the new OS). However, if you have the philips dockstudio app, the box still appears there and I was able to get my speakers working again.

  • Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone

    Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone, I love the otterbox and want to keep it on all the time. not only does it protect my iphone it, it makes it easy for me to hold because I have trouble with my hands. please help

    That's a good question. The main problem with the Square readers is that the plug is designed to send data to devices, rendering most headphone extension cables useless.
    Reading another forum I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BN7XSM
    Give that a try. Claims to work perfectly for Square. NOT headphones.

  • I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

    I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. We have two distinctly different printing problems. Let's try tackling them one at a time if you don't mind.
    In order for the iPad to print to a printer it would either have to be AirPrint-enabled or you would need another solution, like PrintCentral for iPad or Printopia. Unfortunately, I don't believe your Canon printer is AirPrint-enabled. There aren't many printers on the market that currently are. All of them, that I am aware of, are HP devices.
    Now for the PC. I would go with what you have already suggested and that is try disabling either the Windows or third-party software firewall. Which version of Windows is it running? Just in case it's XP, here are two excellent iFelix articles on how to do so with or without using Bonjour.

  • Can't get the software to work with Audigy 2

    Hi, I have had my Audigy 2 ZS going on a year now and haven't had any problems. I recently made a clean install of Windows XP and upgraded to SP2 and all that. Now, I can get sound out of the card but can't get the software to work at all; cannot get the volume slider bar to appear when I click the icon (it appears in the task bar though and I get a small gray square where the slider should appear), the surround mixer does not show when I double click the volume icon, EAX conxole is a no go, get an empty error box when I try to start the Equaliser.
    I have tried everything from simple re-install to clean sweep to praying to the pagan gods. I have alsoo tried updating the drivers of course.
    I run XP on an Intel MoBo (on-boeard sound deactivated), 52RAM, ATI 9700 ALL-IN-WONDER.
    DOES THE CREATIVE SOFTWARE DEPEND ON ANY WEIRD LITTLE WINDOWS SERVICE OR SETTING THAT I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED DURING SETUP?
    This is quite infuriating as any idea I come up with takes up a lot of time in installation, uninstallation and clean up. It worked before, why not now?
    Thanks in advance. dentore

    Ok I got it to work. This is the reply I got from Creative but I didn't remove the program from the add/remove option on the PC b/c that didn't work at first. I inserted the installation CD and remove it from that wizard. Rebooted and the PC found new hardware. I then installed the driver and software from the CD and now it works.
    For Mediasource. It appears something was corrupted in Mediasource or there is a conflict within the system.Please uninstall all software and drivers for the soundcard, from add/remove programs. Once this is done, shut down the system and changePCI slots for the soundcard, then turn the system back on, cancel the found new hardware wizard, disable all background applications (especially virus scanner, firewall, and any other background applications running in the bottom right hand corner of the system), andthen perform a full reinstallation of the drivers and software from the soundcard installation cd.
    CAT I hope you fix your sound card. Good luck.

  • WD Elements external hard drive getting 1 drive to work with 10.4 and 10.5

    I have a WD 2TB Elements new drive ready to start using. Anyone know the tricks to be able to get this drive to work right with 10.4 Power PC AND 10.5 Mac Pro? I have another WD drive (same type, the "Elements") and it won't copy most files that were made on my 10.5 machine. It was formatted on the 10.4 machine and I may not have formatted it right.  Works fine on the 10.4 machine but when I use that drive on the 10.5 Mac Pro, it often doesn't like files made on 10.4, and vice versa. Is it impossible to get the WD to be compatible with both or am I stuck dedicating the new drive to either the 10.4 or the 10.5 exclusively?  I've only had this compatibility issue with WD drives. No problems like this with Seagate and other brands. Also do not have this problem with WD's tiny 750GB drive that is powered by USB. That one works like a charm.  So I'm wondering if I just need to reformat it correctly - maybe I didn't get the partioning right-- however I have read comments by others who have had the same problem with WD Elements drives.  A -36 Error message pops up and the drive will not copy the file, and then it craps out and you cannot see the files listed - it goes blank. Then the only way to quit the drive is to pull the USB or power cord and kill it - then put it back in right away.  Force Quitting by relaunching Finder still doesn't allow a Trashing of the drive - has to be done by yanking out the connection or the power.

    These are what WD lists for Mac, so no I wouldn't buy WD Elements and while their drives are fine, I don't recommend any external or MyBook series.

    G4 uses one partition map and Intel Macs use GUID.
    Your actions are contributing to directory corruption, pulling plug and killing power to the unit.
