Hey, i just got an Asus motherboard (P5Q SE) and my hard drive and the DVD writer are have IDE connection, so when i plug them both together, when i reboot, on the second screen after the option of entering BIOS, the computer just get stuck even before reaching the Windows loading screen...
If i plug only one of them Either Hard Drive or the DVD drive, the system boots up approprietly and works well...but i need the 2 of them working together...
something interesting that i've noticed is that when i reboot and it mentions the components that i have plugged up it says that i have : Port1 Hard drive and Port 1 Dvd writer, so the interesting thing is that i've noticed they they both sit on the same port... so i wonder if it something to do with the problem.
so if anyone has an idea how can i make the IDE components work together please let me know, i already tried everything i could... i dont know what else i can do...
i dont really want to buy a new SATA dvd writer because i got my current dvd drive only a month ago or so... so i would rather solve it this way, but in the worst case i'll buy it...
