Second raid port doesn't seem to be detecting in winxp pro or somethign

Just upgraded to winxp pro from win2k pro.

all works except - my cd rom and writer aren't being detected. I've got a kt7-raid. in device manager - there is a raid controlller installed but in my computer - my cd-roms aren't being detected?

they worked fine in win2k. i upgraded like 20 minutes ago - and now they're not there. they're being detected in bios and work fine in windows 98.

kt7a-r uses hpt370 raid drivers. i've tried adding ANOTHER raid contrller identicle to the first - but no go

pleeeeeease help need to get this fixed asap thx!

the cd rom / writer are connected to the second raid. and hd to the 1st. but apparently - raid doesn't like cd-roms (despite the fact they worked perfectly in win2k), is this true?? someone suggested if i move thsi to the mobo onboard, they will work - will this not decrease their speed?

theres a bios update from abit
if you have the abit kt7a raid mobo.

i would put the cd's onboard as well i think that board had the 2 orange raid slots which were ata100 and could be used as raid or controllers. and the blue onboard controllers were ata66.

it's ok i fixed this.

I just reinstalled my VIA 4in1 drivers
