8rda secondary ide problem

[Parak]

There seems to be something wrong with my secondary ide controller. I have a cd-rw (liteon 52x24x52) connected to it, and when I use certain cd error checking program (cd speed, www.cdspeed2000.com), it reports 100% damaged sectors, even though on my old motherboard, OR on the PRIMARY ide controller the same cd reports 100% good.

What's even more freaky, is that cd's that I recorded when the drive is connected to the secondary controller report 100% damaged, but when I connect to the primary, same cds report 100% good @_@

I tried 3 different cables with the same results as well...

Anyone else encountered this?

Have you loaded the Nvidia drivers that identify the IDE controller in the hardware manager as Nvidia or are showing as SCSI drives?? If so you can take and uninstall that driver and look at the downloaded drivers vers 2.0 and unzip it and manually load a whql certified Nvidia ide driver in place of it. You'll have to look for the file in ide directory and open it with wordpad and it will say WHQL ide driver to enable UDMA mode 6 in windows XP!!

Hrm, I don't have an ide directory when I unzip the drivers... Also like I said, I only have this problem on one of the controllers ;/

Hmm, could someone maybe test this? Just wondering if I should RMA it or not ;/
