I've seen several threads with similar issues, but none solved my problem.
I have a Asus P5Q Pro MB w/ sata HDD w/ a working Vista64 OS.
The installed sata DVD drive is detected in the bios, but not in windows.
I also had a IDE DVD drive and used that to install the OS
Since the initial OS install, my IDE DVD drive disappeared while in windows and now when I'm trying to reinstall a clean version of Vista, the IDE Drive won't show up in windows at all.
At first I was able to boot up from the windows DVD, but it would hang on a blue Vista screen. Now its not detecting any IDE DVD drive on bootup.
I've tried changing the config from IDE to AHCI to RAID with no luck.
If I can get the SATA DVD Drive to function, I'd lose the IDE all together and not miss it.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
