Hi all,
I am putting together a new rig based on P5Q PRO TUBRO <GREEN>
motherboard.
I have installed a IDE optical drive. When I boot to the bios and go
into the "Boot" menu CD device is recognized. But when I go into the
"Main" menu it shows and identifies the single SATA hard drive but
does not show any IDE at all. The only thing it shows are the SATA
drives number one with the hard drive and 2, 3, 4 and 5 as disabled.
No IDE at all! According to the pictures in the users guide he gives
the following menu;

Primary IDE Master
Primary IDE Slave
SATA 1
SATA 2
SATA 3
SATA 4
SATA_E1

When I put the Windows XP disk in and start the computer it will
identify the optical drive and instruct "press any key to continue"
and when I do I am instructed to install a proper medium or something
like that.
I also put Western Digital's "Data Lifeguard Tools" and it is
recognized but essentially it says that there are no drivers for the
CD optical drive.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Albert

Do you have anything in the PCI-X slot? I have the P5E WS Pro, and
have a scsi card in that slot which renders IDE null and void.
There is no PCI-X slot on the P5Q's


You arent confusing PCIe with PCI-X are you?

Me only card I have in it now is in the PCIEX 16 slot and it's a
graphics card.
I'm going to bed I thank all of you, good night
