'OUCH' is right! How about the Vegas 5.0b update -did you get that as
well? Hmmm....I use DVD Architect for DVD authoring (as I got the combo
package)... So, Vegas won't even see the drive(s) to rip a cd or anything,
either?
How about DMA settings -is that available, or is that what BIOS indicates?
Better yet, can you borrow a different drive to substitute? That would
tell you if you do or don't have a mbd problem to begin with, I'd think.
IDE should be IDE should be IDE etc etc. If they're on the same cable,
you could try the 'CS' setting (but it doesn't sound like that will do it,
either).
All I can think of is posting to the Vegas forum(s) or an Nvidia related
forum. I use an ASUS mbd, and it's worked flawlessly (in spite of the VIA
chipset, which was known to be problematic in the past). I've had MSI's
that ended up with mbd capacitor problems, so I'm not too enthusiastic
about them anymore.
luck,
