I know this is an old MB but it still has a use... It had been running fine
with a Maxtor 30g and an IBM 6.4 g slave. We went on vaction for 4 days and
now the bios will not reconize any drives. I installed a new master and the
bios will not see the drive. I am at a loss... never ran into this problem
before. The machine was running W98. I disabled the IDE Ultra DMA mode and
that did not make any difference. Any suggestions to try would be
appreciated.

An update, I installed the hard drive in an older machine and it saw it no
problem so I know its not the drive. I then took the hard drive from the old
machine and the bios in the P2B machine sees the drive, but it does not boot
up completely . I had taken the battery out and that made no difference. I
will try clearing the CMOS with the jumper next. BTW what is the
southbridge? We did have a power outage and that machine was hooked up to a
modem.
