a7n8x: SATA +IDE Problem.

Okay I have been running my machine with a 80 GB and Zip drive on one IDE
channel. And a CD Burner and DVD drive on the other. No problems. I
recently decided to get a 120 GB Sata drive and DVD Burner to replace the CD
Burner.

So my setup is 1x120 GB sata, 80 IDE and Zip on Primary IDE Channel, and DVD
+ DVD Burner on the Secondary IDE Channel. Problem is that the DVD drives
don't show up now. Anyone have any ideas why this might be?

OK, you've bound to ahve checked this, but still... Are you sure that both
are not set as Master?

Shortly after posting I decided to take the SATA drive out and see what
happens. Upon reboot it then saw only the burner. Taking the burner out, I
had indeed left it as "master". It's always the small things that get you.
