I have a 40 g hd ( slave ) mounted internial for storage I have 3 differant HD's ( master ) I interchange using a " Rhino drive " slide mount My problem is that only my original HD ( Master ) will recognize the data on the slave drive. Help please
When I change ( slide in ) my master HD windows explorer dose not recognize my slave drive. If I unplug the cables & reboot it will recognize the slave drive but not the data on it. It's like a fresh drive that needs formating. My 3 master drives that I swap are for #1 Work #2 Play #3 Dual boot Win 98 / XP ( at least thats what I'm trying to setup )
all Fat 32 so that I can use the data ( slave ) as needed.
I'm assuming all the drives show up in cmos/bios? Any problems detecting them? I don't swap my master/main hard drive ever but I do have 2 other removeable drives that I swap sometimes. I never had a problem.
Make sure to set the jumpers for each hard drive to set it as master/slave and not only by the cable. And make sure that your computer is trying to boot off of the master always.
Yes it shows in the bois,it dose boot to master,the jumpers are all set
Only with the original drive that I set up with dose any of the data ( files & such ) show . When I swap out the master drive to another Master the slave drive dose not show any thing on it.
