A7N8X deluxe, SATA DVD-RW problems

S

Steve

Well, not really problems, just annoyances.

Fry's had a deal on the Plextor PX-712A SATA DVD-RW drive, so I've got
one and it works nicely.

But, on boot, the stupid Sil3112 bios detects the drive, then just
sits there (ctrl-s or f4 to set up raid) until I hit a key.

Anyone seen this before? Normal behavior, or something peculiar to
using a DVD-RW drive on this controller? Any way around it?

I have this MB and have heard that the SATA ports would only work for a SATA
hard drive and were incompatible with the low speed of an optical drive.
Later models of Asus motherboards do not have this problem.....
