Device in the system modular bay not identified
I have a Lattitude CP 166 laptop with win95 running and it doesn't boot any more. It comes up with device in the system moduler bay not identified but it is not plugged into the bay. I have tried fn-f1 but it doesnt work and just powers down.
Please help.
Thanks

Have you tried inserting a floppy drive or CD-Rom drive into the media bay drive to see if the message changes?
Have you tried using a bootable floppy disk such as a Windows 98 startup disk to see if the system will boot to the disk?
Have you tried removing and reseating the hard drive on the system as well?

I too have a problem with the modular bay. Did you solve your problem?
I have a Dell Latitude CPi Notebook.
I also have a problem with the modular bay when the CD Rom is inserted. The error message I get is: "device in the system modular bay cannot be identified".
The CD Rom works fine in ANOTHER Dell Latitude notebook so there is no defect with the CD Rom. I then I tested the modular bay by inserting a 3.25 floppy drive, it WORKS just FINE. So the modular bay works but NOT WITH a CD Rom. I then tried a DIFFERENT CD Rom drive in the modular bay and that doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
