ok. just got a new bx master today. threw the board in my existing system. i have 2 ata66 drive on ata66 channel 1, and a ide cd-rom and burner both on ide channel 2. everytime i boot into the os, i get a message saying that there has been some systems changes and i need to reboot. if i reboot, everything the os starts, i get the same message. when i hit no for the restart and go into my device manager, both my cd roms have an "X" on them and the secondary and primary controller have a "!" by them. i look at the properties for the ide controllers and it says i need to restart (even has a nice little button there for it :) ). when i restart the os from there, it works fine. but when i power cycle, it goes back to saying that there has been a systems settings change... any help?

oh yeah, and i ALWAYS get the "PCI mass storage controller" with a "!" by it... ???

thanks!

p.s. where is compuwiz when you need him?? has he competely moved yet?

Are you using an Udma/66 cable? If so, don't. I don't think BX supports it.

Look it up though, I'm an AMD man myself.

i am using an UDMA66cable, and yes the BX does support it, that is one of the main reasons i bought it ;)
