We'll need to try and collect more information from other sources to see if we can narrow it down (e.g. whether it happens on other vendors' motherboards or just Gigabyte, whether there are other combinations of SATA versus non-SATA optical drives that cause problems, etc). Just to collect as much information about this specific case as I can... Are you using CD media or DVD media? Is there a chance you could try the other type of media (e.g. if you're using CD media could you give DVD media a quick try?) just to eliminate that as one of the variables? -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensm...@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
