Sorry for sounding dumb but whenever I have more than one drive (For ex. CD and DVD) on the same IDE chain only one of them works- I've tried CSEL, One master one slave, etc. etc. however I can only ever get one to work, or be detected at all.
I'm guessing we're talking an MS-DOS era system?
What do you have in your config.sys and autoexec.bat? You may have to load in oakcdrom.sys (or whichever driver you're using) twice in config.sys
maybe something like (just taking a shot in the dark)
config.sys:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\oakcdrom.sys /E:mscd002
LASTDRIVE=F
autoexec.bat
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /l:D
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /E:mscd002 /l:D
Sup. I like computers. Are you a computer?
I remember that some CD drivers had option to control more than one drive at a time (so you don't have to load it twice), but I can't say which ones.
I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...
At BeginnerGuy- Not actually a DOS system, most of the time it runs XP but I'm trying Win2k on it right now.
Don't use the same IDE chain. Some drives simply won't work together. Connect one to the primary port and the other one to the secondary port. Don't use cable select, always do proper master/slave settings. When connecting to the primary port, check the setting of the hard disk. It may distinguish between single drive and master (with slave present).
