Just decided to add a second SATA DVD drive to my old mobo, a Abit IC7 Max 3,
Before, i had a IDE and a Sata DVD Drive, which worked and booted WXP fine,
So, got my second drive, in fact a Blu-ray drive, to try it quick, i just took my first SATA DVD drive out and fitted the new Blu-ray drive, (same connections)
worked fine, but when i decided to remove my old IDE DVD drive and refit the other SATA DVD Drive,
It would not boot up into Windows, just got the error message,
VERIFYING DMI POLL DATA-
"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK & PRESS ENTER"
(Which is exactly what it says)
Went into BIOS to check boot order, which was-
First Boot Device- Floppy Disk (yes, i still have a floppy fitted, never used it in years!)
Second Boot Device- Hard Drive
Other Boot Device- CD-ROM
So, i disabled CD-ROM as other boot device, and left others as above,
Still got same error mesage-
VERIFYING DMI POLL DATA-
"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK & PRESS ENTER"
Disconnected the last SATA DVD Drive fitted, booted fine,
Is it possible to have two SATA DVD Drive's fitted to an older mobo like mine?
Or, do i have to do something to the way it boots windows in the BIOS?
Like the way it treats SATA drives? have a feeling settings in the BIOS have to be changed, that affect SATA drives?
Anyone know how to do this?
Any help will be great, thanks
