Hi All,
I just installed an SATA DVD drive in my older Dell. I had to pull one of the IDE DVD drives out. Have been in to the BIOS and changed what setting were available.
SATA primary drive...............off.
SATA secondary drive...........CD-ROM device.
Primary master drive.............hard drive
Primary slave drive...............hard drive
Secondary master drive.........CD-ROM device
Secondary slave device.........off
Now I am unable to boot from the IDE (secondary master drive) DVD drive.
I have the BIOS set up to boot to CD-ROM first, and have tried using "boot sequence" on start up to select CD-ROM, but nothing works.
Any ideas what I have done wrong?
Thanks for any help.
