Use the scanbus command as shown in the echelon tutorial, or if doesn't work (it just crashes my machine for some reason)

After I installed a new hard drive (and changed some of my IDE configs), I had problems with
CDRECORD -scanbus as well as
CDRECORD -dev=x,x,x -msinfo locking up my machine. afterwards I found that Windows didn't even like my secondary IDE controller, and would freak anytime I had the Secondary IDE enabled (via BUSMASTERING driver in Windows).
My fix was to go to a new IDE/UDMA-66 card and all problems were solved. It even solved a long-standing problem with my DVD drive causing repeating noise in the audio channel when the drive was configured as UDMA (also on the secondary channel).
Maybe you have a bad, defective or troubled IDE channel??
