hi,

just got my sb61g2 and I'm having an issue getting my cdrom recognized (to boot to it).

here's the setup:

wd raptor
twinx 2x512 corsair pc3200 (got that working - system was restarting itself)
tdk cd-rw (might be my prob there - but i don't have a normal cdrom drive lying around believe it or not!)
no floppy drive connected...

the wd is getting noticed (SATA enabled - enhanced- it's showing as the slave master?)

I've tried different combos but nothing seems to work - could it be the fact its a cdrw? Still I would think it would at least show up as one of the devices connected when I first boot...

Thanks!

nxt time please write what you did, would have been VERY useful to me right now.

im only able to boot on a cdrom if i totally remove the hdd, sounds to me like a bios upgrade (ignoring boot order) but then again, you made it sound like its somthing simple... please tell

hmm western digital... you didn't have it set to master no slave did you? that one's got me a few times. works fine until you drop something else onto the same ide cable.
