Default sata dvd

HI I bought a Sata DVD for my new system. I noticed that the default on the
gigbyte mobo for the sata connectors is IDE mode. I don't want to change
that because I don't need raid. Can anyone tell me if the sata DVD will
still operate that way?
Thanks

Rudy

That's the only way SATA optical drives will operate.
If SATA is set to AHCI/RAID, optical drives will not
be seen by XP or Vista, although a fix is in Vista SP1
that will correct that. If you're not using RAID, setting
SATA as IDE is the safest way to go, especially for XP.

Disagree. My system is set to ACHI/RAID in BIOS (so I get the benefit of
NCQ) and all three of my HDDs and my Pioneer DVR 212 SATA drive works just
fine in XP Pro, it did with SP1, 2 and now 3.

Perhaps your experience is based on not having the Intel Matrix Storage
drivers installed?
