BIOS Settings

[munruss]

OK, I thought I had hardware problems because my hard drives weren't being detected correctly. I think it is coming down to configuring the BIOS.

With the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard, I think I have RAID 1 configured, but now I do not see my SATA DVD ROMS listed in the BIOS.

What am I suppose to have enabled/disabled in the BIOS for this to work correctly?

Thank you.

munruss,

Your BIOS should auto-detect your HDDs/CD?DVD etc. Try disabling the raid in your BIOS for now and make sure you enable the Onboard SATA/IDE Device on the Integrated Peripherals page. Also the Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode should be IDE. Reboot and see if all your drives are detected, if not load the Fail-Safe Defaults (F6) and try that. Check your CD/DVD connections.

What ports do you have your DVD drives on? They should be on the Intel (yellow or orange) ports 4 and 5, or the Gigabyte (purple) ports.
