  • Is this really a problem or an annoyance?

    Remember the idiot (myself) who flashed the bios of another mobo on to his?

    Anyways, now that my mobo has been fixed I have found a somewhat bizarre problem. You can call it more of an annoyance than a problem really.

    Here it is. My HDD is connected to my Promise controller and my DVD and CD-RW and connected to my regular ATA 66 controller both on the motherboard, on IDE 1 also on the same cable, jumpers are set correctly as far as I remember.

    All the drives work fine in windows, but what is strange is that my CD-RW is disabled (and isn't even recognized) in the bios. If I set it to auto detect it will only find my DVD.

    My dad's computer is the same except if you set his CD-Rom to auto detect it will find it.

    Anybody got a clue how to fix this?
