P5nd2-sli : cdrom stops working after windows installs
This is very bizarre. I have installed winxp pro sp2 on a brand new box
I've build. The mobo is the p5nd2-sli. There's only one hd, sata. The dvdrom is on the primary ide, set as master. Now, installing windows of the dvdrom went without a hitch. But as soon as it was installed, the dvdrom became very slow (read: near innacessible) and my system event log is filled with the message: The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within the timeout period. Ironically, the dvdrom in question is asus-build. I suspect an Ide issue and conflict with sp2, since this started only after the os was installed. However, I do not understand why, as I though that the sata and ide controller were 2 very different things. Cheers, Steve. |

A sata and ide controller are different in many ways, obviously
different technologies and bandwitchs/speeds. On the P5ND2-SLI you can use one controller to mix IDE and SATA channels in the same RAID array. Have you tried using the other IDE channel? that's where I would start ... and then I'd ask Asus technical support directly. |

Replying to mysel here, with the solution: move the drive to the
secondary ide channel. For some reason xp sp2 doens't like seing a cdrom as your only ide device set as master on the primary channel.... but will install fine, hence the confusion. Have fun!! Steve. |
