Apologies for my "late" reply to the above, as I was busy last weekend. Rugxulo's reply was right, there is no : (colon) in a /S switch, only the number of megabytes desired for the UIDE cache. Only the UIDE /D: switch uses a colon, to be the same as that switch in SHSUCDX or SHCDX33E. Also, there is no "order" needed by UIDE's switch options, and you can specify them in whichever order you like. Be advised that most switches, once they are set, cannot be "un-set". I did not believe "un-setting" UIDE switches was necessary. Re: UIDE /E "not detecting" your hard disk, note that /E makes UIDE "go around" (avoid) its normal EDD-BIOS disk setup logic. So, using /E, you will not get a message describing the "type" of unit each hard-disk is, nor what ATA-xxx speed it will use. However, you SHOULD get "Disk run by the BIOS: 1." or greater if your system uses more than one hard-disk. This means UIDE was told by the BIOS how many hard-disks are present, and UIDE will then "call the BIOS" to do I-O requests for them. Hard- disk data is still cached by UIDE, even with its /E switch!
