Abit IS7-E won't boot in enhanced mode
I have a WD 120GB SATA HD on SATA 1, a CDRW drive on IDE 1 and a CDR-RW/DVD
combo drive on IDE 2. All 3 are set to master. With this combination I have tried setting On-chip serial ATA mode to "enhanced" and "auto". the computer begins to boot, but the screen always goes blank before reaching the Windows XP splash screen. Even if I remove one of the CDROMS or link the two CDROMS as master and slave on one IDE the computer still hangs before the splash screen if the On-chip SATA mode is set to "enhanced". The only way I get my rig to boot into winXP is if I leave the On-chip SATA mode on "auto" or "combined" and have both CDROMS on one IDE as master and slave. This works okay, but I would really like to have each CDROM drive on its own IDE for burning on the fly. Any ideas? (I have already flashed the IS7-E bios to the latest version posted on the Abit website). __________________ Chris Lee ABIT IS7-E, S.478, 533/800FSB, Audio/LAN, DDR333/400 Intel PentiumT 4 3.00GHz HT 512K 800FSB S.478 512MB DDR400 PC3200 Non-ECC Samsung 120Gb Serial ATA WD1200JD 8Mb 7200rpm AGP (8x) eVGA GeForce FX 5200 128Mb DDR TV-Out LiteOn Combo 52x32x52-16 IDE CD-RW/DVD-Rom Creative 8x4x32 IDE CD-RW Nikao DL2 MidTower 350W P.S.

Fixed it. Turns out out IDE Bus Master needs to be enabled (which is odd
since this if for a DOS environment - but it works). Chris "Ambulater" Lee "Pen" wrote in message ... alt.comp.mainboards.abit might get a faster response. "Ambulater" wrote in message ...

True bus mastering (e.g. SCSI) is always active and does not depend on the OS. This is something that is definitely worth having with DOS. Ambulater wrote: Fixed it.
