I recently bought a dvd burner which happens to be SATA. I have another dvd burner thats IDE and I'm wondering if I'm allowed to use both of these drives, one IDE and one SATA or do I need two identical drives with the same type ie IDE or SATA.
Quick question

Ok I installed it but it doesn't seem to detect the SATA drive. In my bios, it lists: PRIMARY MASTER IDE drive and PRIMARY SLAVE IDE drive. any help on how to get it to detect ?
Your BIOS should have a way to enable SATA drives, which might be turned off right now. Have you checked that? It all depends on your motherboard; read your manual for full details.
after going through the manual, it only mentions SATA for HDD not for anything else like media drives. Does it make a difference? I mean SATA is SATA in general no?
It should work. I'd suggest going thru BIOS options and confirming SATA is enabled and not set to AHCI, which may cause some CDROMs to not work with it, and I'd confirm any SATA drivers you require are loaded (for example, are there any question marks in Windows' Device Manager?)
I have an ASUS K8V-X motherboard. When I checked device manager and under DVD-CD/Drives, it doesn't have it listed at all, just my dvd burner which is connected via IDE.
Well I finally got it to work after realizing I had to install a RAID controller driver. THanks for all the help though.
