Re: IDE Drives recognised as SCSI

When you add an ATA/EIDE (or SCSI) controller into a Windows computer,
It will show up as a SCSI device in Device Manager.

You list a Red PRI_IDE and a Blue PRI_IDE
Motherboards (usually) come one Primary IDE and one Secondary IDE
controller.
How come you list 2 primary controllers?

Do the ATA/IDE devices show up in Disk management?
(Right click on "My Computer", click on "Manage", then select "Disk
management"
