Hello,
I've just swapped out my old DVD writer for a Samsung SH-S223 and it is not being recognized in the bios. The system is running a pair of WD SATA3 HDDs in RAID1 using the Intel Extreme HD app, the cd/dvd is set for first boot and my POST states that AHCI is not available and the bios itself shows that the secondary SATA ports are running in IDE mode.
My OS is Win7 Ultimate x64. FWIW I already edited the registry to allow AHCI as detailed in another thread here but obviously it isn't going to help if the bios can't locate the DVD in the first place. I've swapped the molex so it's not the connection.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
