It may have been something to do with how the drivers were interacting with the BIOS.
Did you try resetting the BIOS to defaults before the upgrade? Maybe there was an incorrect setting applied. |
I uninstalled the drivers first, then reinstalled, but this didn't help.
I must admit that I didn't try resetting BIOS to defaults, but I did play with the BIOS menues, especially the USB section (as I am using the USB option, not the SCSI), but no joy.
I am reluctant to downgrade the BIOS to the old one in case it would mess up my motherboard and I do need this PC so I guess I would leave things as they are for the moment.
The latest BIOS version might help with other issues, so I am glad i did the upgrade.
If I can only get a cheap SCSI card and a long cable with the correct connectors (about 3m, I know that SCSI cables should be short), then I might just try out the SCSI option just to see how it compares with the USB (I also tried shorter USB cable like 1.5m, but it didn't help before).
Anyway, thanks for your input.
