Yep, where it says IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, uninstall the entries [probably 2] listed under that when you click the + sign next to it.  |
Wahoooooo!! Sorted now. After trying uninstalling the IDE stuff in device manager & nothing happening I opened up my pc & checked the dvd-rw & it was set to master, i also checked my hd's & my dvd-rom & there were all on cable select, so I changed the hd's to master & dvd drives to slave & booting in to windows they all reinstalled themselves & now the drive shows up
, finally got there. Thank for all your help guys, I thought twice about coming here for help as I hadn't found any other information that I thought useful anywhere on the net & was just going to settle for another format, good job I came here before I did. I will remember to come here first should I have anymore problems in the future
Now I can finally backup my hd without any problems for the backup.
