Hi, I've been reading this group but can't find an answer to my issue.
Am hoping someone in here can help me out. I'm trying to get my machine going for the first time using a new P5P800 motherboard, but I'm unable to. The BIOS is only recognizing my new 300 gig hard drive if I don't have the UDMA ribbon attached to the CD-Rom. Obviously I need to get the CD-ROM to be recognized in BIOS in order to install Windows and everything else once I do get running. I've got hard drive's UDMA ribbon coming from the Primary IDE connector on the board ("cable select" jumper setting on the hard drive). I've got the CD-ROM's UDMA ribbon coming from the Secondary IDE connector on the board (also cable select jumper).
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here? Is it possible that I have a dead board? Any suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards!
I'm not really much of an expert, but in the many systems I've built, the CD-ROMs don't work with the 80 connector UDMA cable. Instead, try using the standard 40 connector cable.
Hope this helps.
David
