IDE problems in Windows 95

Question

I have a MS-5128 motherboard, after I installed retail version of Windows 95, I cannot find the CR-ROM in the secondary IDE channel any more.

Or my IDE drives are using MS-DOS compatible mode.

Answer

This is caused by Windows 95 not recognizing the Intel 82371SB PIIX3 IDE controller on the motherboard, causing the BIOS to disable the secondary IDE channel. This can result in IDE devices in secondary IDE channel not being detected after the system is rebooted. Please refer to ftp.intel.com/pub/patch/ideinfup.exe & ideinfup.txt for further explaination and solution.
