I have a new asus motherboard model P/1 P55T2P4 with a new 200 intel cpu
All my periphials are new.
I seem to loose my a drive every other day, and now today it's my d drive i
reboot I see it load the driver and the led comes on it just wont access
it.
Same problem with My A drive yesterday disk in light on drive spinning then
cannot read from drive a.
Please help I'm mucho in debt.
If the controller is bide I want to take it back but according to win 95
it's working properly.This all started when I loaded the oem release2
version of win 95.

Thanks in advance.

I would start by checking to make sure that you don't have a DMA conflict, although it's not as likely to cause the HD going out, but with the problem with the floppy, this is a hi probability. The likely culprit is either a sound card or a CD-Rom card having a DMA channel that is set to one which by default is what the A drive will use. -- James Sheldon AKA Night Falcon e-mail:nfalcon@bellsouth.net

Sounds like your MB is bad. I had similar problems with one and a new (different brand) MB solved it.

Regarding James' reply... The floppy drive does not use DMA 1. Here is a list of common IRQ and DMA usage in most PC implementations: IRQ 0: Timer 0 IRQ 1: Keyboard IRQ 2: Cascadable interupt from slave 8259 interupt controller IRQ 3: COM port 2 IRQ 4: COM port 1 IRQ 5: LPT2 (if installed) IRQ 6: Floppy disk controller IRQ 7: LPT1 IRQ 8: CMOS real time clock IRQ 9: Free (emulates IRQ2 for XT compatibility via BIOS) IRQ 10: Free IRQ 11: Free IRQ 12: PS2 Mouse (if installed) IRQ 13: Numeric coprocessor IRQ 14: IDE Hard disk controller IRQ 15: IDE Hard disk controller (if installed) DMA 0: Free DMA 1: Free (typically used by sound cards) DMA 2: Floppy disk controller DMA 3: Free (typically used by ECP port) DMA 4: Cascadable DMA from primary 8237 DMA controller DMA 5: Free (typically used by 16bit sound cards) DMA 6: Free DMA 7: Free If anyone can update this list, please do so.

Please check your system devices in WIN95 and report any "!" exclamation marks. Does your hard drive and floppy work fine if you boot to command prompt via the F8 key?

------------740774B617B0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii You might check into a BIOS upgrade, this is fairly simple if you have a flash BIOS - which you should if its a new MB - this has cured numerous funky problems for me in the past (I'm an independent consultant). Asus's web address is http://www.asus.com/ and they have spec. sheets and BIOS upgrades for your P/1 P55T2P4 motherboard (check the version and BIOS date of your board (upon bootup) to see if their upgrade is a later version/date). If the upgrade doesn't work, the MB is probably defective.

I hope you know how to get into the bios setup. Once there load the bios default settings and then save and exit. If this does not solve the problem, then it is your motherboard that is defective. Helpful hint. The first time you use a new motherboard you should set the bios to the setup default settings. Then change them to the bios default. If you really know what you are doing, then you can change them anyway you want.
