Hi,
Thanks to some of you guys I had some luck troubleshooting what I
thought was a power supply problem which turned out to be what I thought
was an IDE cable problem.
Still, a strange issue continues - symptoms below;
1. If I don't connect any IDE cables or floppy drive cable, PC powers on
fine, all drives have power and HDD spins up.
2. If I connect floppy drive, as above - all works.
3. Any other device connected to the primary or secondary IDE via a
cable stops responding. CDRW doesn't eject, DVD rom doesn't eject, HDD
doesn't spin up.
I've replaced cables, no effect. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Chris.
