IDE drives showing up as SCSI

[Bones1]

I was bored and looking around in my Device Manager Properties and found this.

My IDE drives are showing up as SCSI which I found to be a little odd.

Anyone else noticed this?

My system is stable and this is on an Epox 8RDA+ M/B.

I've also been getting alot of paging errors in the event viewer. Could this be related?

I'd post the images but I haven't figured out the img tag thing so I'll have to attach the files.

And now the error messgaes

[cbuddha42]

are your hard disks on a raid controller? those soemtimes show up as scsi

[Bones1]

No they are hooked up onto the IDE controller on the motherboard.

Are they by chance UDMA 66, 100, or 133?

That is common when using the nVidia SW IDE drivers. They report the drives as being SCSI. I belive the newest version of their drivers fixes that. I've not heard of any paging file errors associated with it though.

I had this same problem. Does your machine blue-screen and then reboot when copying large files from one drive to the other? I had real problem with. Turned out that it was the VIA drivers I was using were causing the problem (they came on the driver disk with the motherboard). The one difference I see between your Device Manager layout and mine is that I'm using a Promise ATA controller card and I had two other devices listed as as SCSI controllers. After I removed them, the VIA UDMA drivers, and restarted everything was okay. XP re-installed the correct IDE controller drivers and everything worked fine after that.

Oh, and I'm using a DFI mobo with the AMD 761 chipset. Oddly enough, we're both using the same models of hard drives (both of them).

Radar the 80G is an ATA100 and the 120G is a ATA 133 not sure if that matters.

Scott I've never had a problem copying large files between them and I looked in my manual and this board uses the nForce2 chipset. I wanted to get away from VIA too many problems.

Well my system has been running stable for probably 2 months now so I shouldn't worry about it much.

Atomic I'll check to see if there are new drivers when I get some time.

I just thought that it was odd oh well. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Thanks
