Saga of the Bloodied Ide Cable
Once upon a time in the dark depths of Tottenham lay a beast,known to terrorise the land ,mysteriously abducting cd's,and in their place leaving horribly mutilating coasters, whether Master's or Slaves, 1st or Secondary none were safe.....some called this beast "rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish nFORCE 2 Controller" ,others called it "knackered CD/RW Drive & DVD Drive". The peasantry were unsettled by the dark omens of rotting cd's strewn across the land spreading irritation ,rage and uncontrolled bouts of swearing.
The King of the region (King Frosty) lead an expedition to slay the beast and finally bring the region back into order where Dvd's and Cd's could live hapily beside one another....to have no problem being understood and thier precious knowledge being passed onwards to the Hallowed Library of HardDrive.
The King found the beast ,passed the metal cage in the depths of The Jungle of Wires. Here he found too companions, loyal servants of the region who had served it for 2-3 years without question, but now one, Matsui Dvd-Rom Drive, was supposedly dead and didn't read any disks or DVD's, apparently in an acoma......while the other companion, Freecom 8x4x32 CD/RW, was stronger than expected, but still weak, the king had to change his Banner from DMA to PIO which heavily drained the CPU and caused Choppy sound,The King was displessed but happy that atleast one of his companions had servived, he set about Fixing Matsui the Dvd-Rom Drive and Bringing Freecom Cd/Rw back to its previous DMA glory.
Both companions were situated on the primary link to the beast,Matsui was Primary Master and Freecom was his apprentice, Primary Slave. (the 2 Library of Hardrives were on the Secondary link and working perfectly fine)
The King decided to remove the apprentice and test Matsui alone on the cable, but yet to no avail, no change, still dead. Then he placed Matsui on the Secondary Link and Moved the Harddisks to the Primary suspecting the the Primary Ide socket might be broken, but it was wasn't! and Matsui still didn't work on the secondary link.
By now the King had succumbed to the Anger and Bouts of Swearing that had soo affected the peasantry, but as one does,he collected himself and decided to press on, taking more drastic measures to revive his old friend.He decided to change the old management of the beast which was:
SMBus driver 2.75 (WHQL'd)
Memory controller driver 2.75 (WHQL'd)
IDE driver 2.70 In The Box (WHQL'd)
IDE driver 3.07 Full Driver
To the newer 3.13......a decision he would live to regret.......he removed the drivers, and also with the help of Sir DriverCleaner cleansed and burned the beast to make it susceptible to its new Management.....3.13....He installed the new 3.13 and then Rebooted only to the reception of Chaos,he could not enter his region all was dark all was dead! not even the Hidden Passage of SafeMode would allow him to enter, the king could not enter the Region as Windows XP.....this was a dark time indeed....and even more drastic measures were needed....
He had to burn his Realm sparing none, slaying the innocent with the mighty and cruel Sword of Format! many a loyal servant would be lost, Sir Coursework and Sir GameSaves most of all. The King would have to Rebuild his Realm from scratch, after re-installing windows after freshly formatting the drive he hoped both Matsui DVD-Rom and Freecom would live and work perfectly...but the king was heavily mistaken......infact Dvd-rom drive was still dead and Freecom had died from the trauma....it too was dead.....only surviving long enough to allow the format to finish but not long enough to install important basic programs....
This was disastorous.....he could not rebuild his realm, the Library of Harddrive had burn't to Ashes by the Format and no new peasants could be put on the land since all Drives were Dead!!!...all was thought lost
Just as King Frosty was on the edge of madness....finding himself watching the likes of Richard&Judy to occupy his time ,an old Ally appeared on the shores. It was Lord BeanFro!!!! he had heard the tales of King Frosty and the Beast and took pity on him, Lord BeanFro also owed King Frosty some favours after his valuable support in the "War of the Barton", lending him one of his Knights Sir ATAPI CDROM 52x to help re-populate King Frosty's realm......Sir Atapi fought with the beast and managed to subdue it, allowing programs and peasants to pass into the Realm, But Sir Atapi was done a Severe Blow and could only Survive in PIO mode and not DMA (similar to SIR Freecom)
So as things sit in the Realm of Tottenham ,King Frosty is without Sir Mitsui DVD Drive and Sir Freecom CD/RW drive, and using 2.45 drivers.
And yet the King asks?
"what can be done to resurrect these fallen Drives ......... and once and for all kill the BEAST of dodgey Nforce2 to IDE Controller"
