Re: Dreaded IDE #1 ERROR info.

Same problem here, with a Satellite 1800-S253 and the Toshiba SD-c2502 (FW version 1313). Firmware flash and boom.

I have tried ketil's method of removing the drive, booting, re-inserting and flashing, but strange enough, the IDE error stays even once the DVD/CD drive is pulled. Any explanations for that one?

I have ebayed a replacement drive (this time it is FW version 1513), but same thing: the BIOS doesn't recognise it.

I will sneak around the BIOS a little more to see whether I can set IDE configuration differently, but I couldn't find anything at first glance. Secondly, I have read somewhere that a guy woke up his drive again by disabling IDE 2 in his Windows settings.... Wow. Gotta try. Last resort is manipulating the IDE connectors as described above - I just fear that's going to be a mess...
