IDE Drives show as SCSI
Do your IDE drives show as SCSI?

If enough people are stumped, i will research an answer (unless someone knows allready!

Wow! What a response, and a complete waste of time.

Disk-co,
My ata 133 Maxtor drive and both of my ide cdroms are reported as scsi devices. Soyo (motherboard manufacturer) says this is correct..that after installing SIS ide drivers they will show as a scsi device. Sounds pretty screwed up to me but that's what several of their tech guys have told me to date.

Thumbs up
Hello me old M8, nice to hear from you again.
Well... My Eagletech mainboard uses the SIS chipset and devices show as they should, two IDE roms and a SCSI reader on an adaptech card.

All i can say is that it must be a parculiarity of the Soyo. But how do you troubleshoot access problems if you can't change the access mode?
BTW, the Soyo isn't Raid is it? would explain a lot!

I posted this aaages ago and your the only person to respond. Still, if the above is true, that would explain it Ehh!

Thanks

Well coincidently the Dragon Ultra is a Raid motherboard. I do not however use the raid feature (yet) and have the raid disabled in the bios.
Thx for the help!

My aging Gateway G6-450 shows a Maxtox ATA/100 PCI card as a SCSI adapter, even though it is EIDE. However, I have never had to play with SCSI ID numbers for the hard drive attached to that card. Motherboard info, from a program to identify motherboards:

Manufacturer ------------------- Intel Corporation
Model (revision) --------------- WS440BX (AA719570-204)
Chipset (revision)-------------- Intel i440BX/ZX (C-1)
Southbridge -------------------- Intel 82371 (PIIX4)
BIOS Brand --------------------- Intel Corp.
BIOS Version ------------------- 4W4SB0X0.15A.0019.P14
BIOS Date ---------------------- 05/09/2000

As it happens, the SCSI tag is correct. As you can see, i found out that the drives were attached to a raid card/board... Which pretends to be SCSI so as not to conflict with the IDE channels.
Which is apparently what you have.
