I have a Maxtor 2B020H Master and a Fujitsu MPE3136AH slave HDDs. I had spyware adaware would not remove and eventually fdisked, formatted and reloaded everything. All is OK now but I cannot make it recognise the slave HDD. I have checked the bios and it says there are two drives but I get "primary slave error".
Can anybody help.
Have you reseated the drive cable? When do you get that error?
I would suggest connecting the drive as a secondary master for the sake of troubleshooting. By isolating the drive, we can determine if your problem is due to a bad drive, cable, or motherboard, if it's even a hardware problem.
