GA-8I945PL-G cannot detect an IDE CDROM drive
Dear All,
I have a Gigabyte GA-8I945PL-G and an IDE CDROM drive, which is not detected by the BIOS. It worked fine before I updated the BIOS from F3 to F8. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul

Nevermind, as I have meanwhile solved the problem. Solution = ??? *(i.e. what did you do to fix it ?) My CDROM drive was not connected to the IDE cable as Slave, as I had many IDE hard disks. Thus, my CDROM drive was connected directly to the motherboard on IDE3 or IDE4 (cannot remember). Then, I removed an hard disk and I connected the CDROM drive to the IDE cable as Slave. I should tell you that the direct connect from the CDROM drive to the motherboard (IDE3 or IDE4) worked very well until I updated the BIOS from F3 to F8. Paul
