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 "D. Vujaklija" wrote in message ... On P4P800 dlx mobo I want to connect dvd-rom on third IDE chanel (primary raid connector). Why? ?Cause I have on 1. IDE chanel my HD drive as master and on 2. IDE chanel I have CDRW Plextor as master and DVDRW Pioneer as slave. AFAIK it not god to have on same IDE chanel HD drive and CDROM so I want to use third IDE chanel. Problem is that mobo doesnt detect device on third IDE connector. RAID controler is disabled in BIOS. Any suggestions? -- dV _________________________________________________ Thanks God, I'm an Atheist! ICQ5005092

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) -- You can run HDs, optical drives and other IDE devices on the Primary and Secondary IDE channels; You can run HDs on the Third and Fourth IDE channels IF they are S-ATA (or P-ATA, with P-ATA to S-ATA converters); You can run HDs on the VIA RAID ports as RAID, Non-RAID, or a combination of both (I'm running RAID 0, and 2 independent disks on these controllers). The VIA RAID controller configures attached HDs as independent disks (Non-RAID) by default. You only get RAID if you intentionally set it up. HTH Des
