IDE drives Identified as SCSI by XP

[DaveBC 0]

I find it strange that XP identifies my IDE hard disk and IDE CDrom

as SCSI devices...tho they both function ok. Anyone else have this

occur?

 

Win98SE updated to XP Home

Athlon slot A 850mhz

KX133 VIA chipset, 4in1427v(a),IDE_MPD3014,VAGP410

256mb Kingmax PC133 cas2

GForce GTS/Pro 64mb DDR Nvida Ref drv 23.11

Maxtor Diamond Max 30gig 7200RPM ATA 66 IDE disk

Creative 52x IDE CDrom DMA mode 2

 

thanx

To my knowledge this is normal. Windows both treats IDE RAID controllers and any drives using the VIA 4in1 IDE drivers as SCSI devices.
