GA-7VRX + Pioneer 106s DVD no go - help!

hi guys,
ok, this has been posted about before on toms on the 06/03/02:

"My new gigabyte GA-7VRX motherboard will not boot if I put my DVD drive (pioneer 106S) on IDE1. If I place my DVD drive on IDE0 and my hard drive on IDE1 it works fine. The weirdest part is that if I set the clock to 100MHz (instead of 133) everything works perfectly in any configuration.
It's not a huge problem - I can always run my hard drive on IDE1 but I'm curious as to why I'm having this problem."

yeah, well that's my problem too. what i'd like to know is, how do i change my hd's [i have 2] from ide0 to ide1? is this merely a matter of swapping the cables around on the board? doesn't it matter which ide socket they are plugged into [ide1 or 2]?
i don't want to run my cpu fsb at 100mhz.
also, does anyone have any theory as to why this is happening in the first place?
thanks in advance everyone
cheers

Make sure the DVD is jumpered as a master. If it already is, then try cable select. Failing that, check to see if there is a firmware upgrade for the DVD.
