Don't hold on to those Zips just because SO FAR thay've been OK for you. I know you think the main problem is drivers & device recognition, and it may be, but the ULTIMATE goal is data access (and SAFETY). They show up in Device Manager as working correctly.Īlso, currently, It takes forever to do a Shutdown. So, Windows OS knows they are there but does not assign them a letter to be used. However, they do not show up in My computer or in Disk Manager. Both the DVD and Blue Ray burners are listed correctly, also. If I go to Device Manager, under disk drives, All drives are listed, including the Zip drive and they all show as working correctly. When booted, I check Mycomputer and I am missing the ZIP and sometimes the DVD. Once again, booting up this morning, The individual drives show up in the BIOS for each card and all drives are shown with correct names. I checked the "installed" programs in Control Panel and Promise was not listed. I always click bypass but may just install it. It has a timeout feature or you can exit it and it starts the normal POST and boot sequence. That comes up the first thing when turning on. Even some Easy Gate program that lets you jump to an application, bypassing BIOS setup and normal load.

I put the motherboard CD into the computer and it loaded all the stuff from the CD. The jumpers on the drives are set correctly and I tried with several combinations. I did load Promise drivers for Vista, thinking that would work but since I took the card out, maybe my next step is to try and remove those drivers if I can figure out where they are and how to do that. I won't add any apps stuff until the OS in working correctly. I have not loaded any software other than Windows, yet. It was a clean fresh install and I haven't added anything other than the drives I stated above.

However, something is going on with this system that I can't seem to put my finger on. I have Zip drives in 2 other computers and I guess I can use them to get files off as I need them and move them to the main computer via the network. Sometimes the DVD writer shows up correctly sometimes it shows up as a different drive letter which you cannot change and it does not have the correct name.Īccording to the Iomega site, the Zip drive should work with Win 7. All drives show up in the correct positions during the BIOS starts but don't necessarily show up in Windows My Computer or in Disk Management. I got the Startech card anaboland said to try and it had similar strange results. I have set allthings up for sharing but clicking on a drive, it says not shared and the Share button is grayed out. I have gone through the BIOS setup and can't seem to find anything there and currently have scratched all the rest of the hair off the top of my head.Īlso, haven't figured sharing out on the computer, either. I know this sounds strange but evidently all six potentials don't work together for some strange reason. I found by trial and error that I can get all but zip drive recognized if I put both disks on one cable on SIIG card and the DVD ROM on the other cable. I called SIIG and did tests they suggested and they said the card is working. The SIIG card does have Win7 drivers inside Win7. When I added the SIIG card with two drives, it no longer put the MB PATA devices in My Computer even though it recognized them in BIOS Swapping positions (swap cable plug ins) It only recognized the zip and DVD from SIIG but the other drives were not recognized on MB in Win7 but were detected in BIOS. When built, it recognized and assigned a letter to zip drive.

I built OS with only the C-Drive on SATA and both the Zip(slave) and DVD-ROM (master) on motherboard PATA. If I swap the DVD writer with the Zip Drive, BIOS shows the zip drive as an ATAPI device Still does not appear in My Computer or Computer Disk Manager. When finished booting, the Zip drive is not in My Computer or Computer Disk Management.

When booting computer, BIOS for the SIIG shows the three drives, BIOS for MB shows the DVD burner One Cable has two drives, E, F Other cable has Iomega Zip PATA: one cable with Pioneer DVD writer on M Serial ATA: C, D, F drives.boot on C, Blue Ray Burner on N Mostly all new stuff.ĪSUS P6TSE motherboard with Intel i7-930 Quad Processor I upgraded (?) my video editing system and am still in the basic stages.
