Hello,

Recently I've started getting an error on my new-ish 486 machine I could use some help with. I've got an SD to IDE adapter and had been using it fine up until yesterday when trying to boot.

On boot, my system has started giving the error that it can't autotype the drive and I'm unable to get it to be recognized now.

I've attempted different IDE cables,
different IDE ports on my motherboard,
removing all other components,

I also attempted getting WHATIDE to tell me the configuration but I guess I'm not even at a point where the drive can be read while in MSDOS because I got the message there were no disks available.

PB450 Motherboard
Phoenix Bios 4.03
486 SX2

not sure if maybe my hard drive controller just decided to die or what

Before I started having these issues I was messing with CD drives on my sound blaster card (which i've removed) but I doubt that would give me these issues since it's not even in my machine now

I was also messing with the on board modem which is on some kind of daughterboard on my mobo.
