| 12549 | 2001-05-13 08:38:00 | CD RW(master)& CD ROM(slave) plugged into spare IDE, when starting up it gets to Secondary Master: it comes up 'none' and it takes longer? Shouldn't it register CDRW as master, CD ROM as slave?? PIII 550mhz 128MB RAM Cheers |

Not all BIOS's auto update when new components are added and it may just be retaining the settings from the last time the IDE devices were detected. | Guest (0) | ||
