Hello, I have noticed that every time I start my PC it auto detects the IDE drives. I only have a HDD and DVD drive connected, but for some reason it takes like 1-2 minutes just to do the check. Is there any way I could disable it? I have a GA-M68MT-S2. Thanks.
 
if i remember it right, you can set it not an AUTO, i mean, have it detected then dont set it to auto, err how do i explain...
i mean select the drive, dont use auto.

also, dont leave disc in the dvd drive. because it reads the contents before booting (i leave nba games in the drive myself), sometimes i check and it is reading the disc

but yeah, it could be a failing drive.
