I want to know what options in bios i would disable to get rid of all IDE
devices from the bios and within Windows. Basically i am planning to move to
SATA optical drives such as the Plextor 712SA/716SA drives.
I am thinking about having the 712SA as a read only/DVD-ROM drive and the
716SA as my burner. I am hoping to connect them to the Sil3114 controller
and set them to BASE/ATA mode.
But i'd then like to disable all bios options in relation to the IDE drives
and nForce4 Ultra chipset. I know i can disable "On-Chip IDE Channel0" and
"On-Chip IDE Channel1" in bios.
But what about "IDE DMA transfer access"? and "IDE Prefetch Mode"?...do i
disable those?
Any help or advice is appreciated or if someone has setup SATA optical
drives on the Sil3114.
