ok, heres my problem. i currently have 4 ide ports available (2 that came with motherboard, 2 with ultra ata/66 ide controller pci), which means i have a total of 8 connections ide wise. i have a dvd-rom, and cd-rw installed on one of the ports (master / slave respectively)...i also have 2 maxtor harddrives (30gig and 40gig) on another port (master / slave respectively)....everythign works fine, and i just tried installing a 3rd maxtor harddrive (30 gig) onto a free ide port, (set as master), and when i boot up windows (98 SE), the 3rd harddrive is shown in device manager, however it is not assigned a drive letter. ive been searching to figure out how to fix this problem, but nothing seems to work..please help
