Promise Technology Inc. EIDE2300 Series VL-IDE Adapter Driver Troubleshooting: -------------------------------------------------------------- 1) When you restart the computer, check "Hard Disk Controllers" in "System Properties". This will tell you if the EIDE2300+ driver is installed correctly or not. If it is not correct reconfigure or install it again. 2) If you have more than 3 hard drives (or want to use a drive letter after E:), add LASTDRIVE=Z in CONFIG.SYS. 3) When you shutdown the system, if you do not see the "OK To Restart Computer " message for a long time, press two or three times. 4) You can install a different driver for Primary and Secondary IDE port, and each port needs a driver to support it. For example: EIDE2300+ driver installed for port 0X1Fx(Primary IDE), General ESDI/IDE driver installed for port 0X17x(Secondary IDE).
