How to disable ide-drives ?

[Somebla]

Hey,
In the notes is says:
"As nearly all protections now block ALL SCSI-Drives, no matter if REAL or VIRTUAL, you need to DISABLE your ide-drives!"

I have no idea how to do that, could someone please explain ?

Thanks.

Go into device manager and disable them from there by doing this:
1.Rclick on my computer and select properties
2.Click on the Hardware tab
3.Click on the button Device Manager
4.Click on DVD/CD-Roms
5.Now you should see 1 - 4 drives named ZB7037T ignore them
6.Rclick on the name of the phisical drive(s) you have and click on disable
7.Play the game and after you've played follow steps 1 - 6 but enable them instead of disabling.

This won't work thoe on starforce protected games, there you have to unplug your power cord from the drives manually and possibly your IDE cables too.
