In article ,

I was just reading the manual for this board...you can't connect ATAPI
devices to the RAID connectors (pg 2-27).

Not too many options
- put HD on Primary RAID and DVD-ROM on Primary IDE.
- run DVD as slave to HD (not really recommended)
- turf an optical drive...probably not what you want to achieve
- get an IDE card that supports ATAPI...good luck...I read they can be a bit
quirky.

Cheers, Cliff

Thanks for reply Cliff.
I have another question for your 1st suggestion: is it necessary to use
raid if I connect HD to pri_raid port or just enable VIA controler for
raid and not set_up raid (use it as standard IDE port)
