SATA and a CDRW on A7N8X Deluxe R2
Is there a reason you want to forego the use of IDE altogether? I would
think that having your CD-RW on the IDE controller separate from the SATA controller would provide performance superior to that of adding an IDE device as a slave on an SATA controller, is that an incorrect assumption? Especially for an optical drive I don't see the benefit other than ditching the IDE cable or just seeing if you can, in all seriousness maybe you can help me understand? Thanks, Koop "flaco337" wrote in message ... Has anyone successfully got a CD device to run on the SATA channels? Over at NForceHQ, someone said you can only run a hard drive with a SATA converter on the SATA channels, but the manual says that they should run a hard drive or CD-rom. I want to run my CD-RW/DVD Combo drive with a converter on channel 2 I got a 'cuda V 80GB hard drive on Channel 1. The SATA drive and the CD-RW/DVD Combo are the only devices I'm running so if both of them are on the SATA, no IDE channels are being used. Could this be a problem? I got a Highpoint Rocket SATA converter, and when I hook it up to the SATA channel 2, I get a "faded Windows Logo" screen that hangs. If I unplug the cable from channel 2 everything's fine. Anyone know if this can be done? Thanks Flaco |
