Hello

My system config is as follows:

  1. WinXP Pro SP3
  2. ASUS P5B-VM motherboard
  3. 2 Seagate SATAII HDD
  4. 1 80GB Seagate IDE HDD
  5. 1 LiteOn DVD RW IDE

Yesterday I got a BSOD and as I rebooted I found that both my IDE devices are missing and can not be recognized by XP. While booting I found that both the IDE devices are properly listed but as soon as WinXP starts, both these drives are not recognized.:4-dontkno

I checked Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Log> System, I found that XP listed a error related with JMicron driver. After downloading and reinstalling JMicron driver (which I hope was right version), the DVD RW drive is now listed but my IDE drive is still missing which contains very important data and my Linux :(



As both the devices are properly listed during pre-OS boot, that I think means that the issue is related to OS, and it is not a driver issue. In BIOS I checked that JMicron controller is set to BASIC (there are 2 other modes, but I have no idea what do those two mean)!


Could someone please help me out to resolve this issue? Its really urgent for me to resolve.

Thank you.
