willisoften Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 ROOTSYSTEM002 (I'm still trying to fix CD burning.) This device is marked as an unknown device in Windows device manager. Does anybody know if its a motherboard thing or if its My Linux drive going unrecognised by windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Could you give a little more details on where you saw this in the windig's device manager? What catagory is it listed under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisoften Posted March 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 It's under System Devices. I looked it up on google and all I can get is other peoples device manager printouts with the same thing appearing. One page was from a Red Hat user which led me to think it might actually be my Linux hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Generally speaking, system devices in winblows are items that are coming from the motherboard, specifically the chipset and scsi or ide controllers. It would really be weird if a linux harddrive would show up there! I think that the drive shows up because of the bios read, but then windirestraights reports it as an unformatted drive. What is the chipset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisoften Posted March 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Chipset: 761 pci/agp controller VT82C 686B PSIPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Are you sure that the 761 chipset has the drivers installed correctly? Remember, only Intel chipsets are set correctly by windfluff; everybody else needs special attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisoften Posted March 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 The viapdf driver is missing even though it was installed BUT everything seems to be working satisfactorily I wasn't going to muck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 You know, the 761 is an AMD chip, and apparently your board is using a VIA southbridge. Make sure that you have used the correct service pack for that combo. I suspect that this is the problem, although if there are no other issues besides the listing, it's best to let it go.

willisoften Posted March 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I reckoned on leaving it alone too. But I'd still like to know what it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
