Can a SATA optical drive boot up?
Hello, I am considering buying a ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827135204 But I am not sure a SATA can boot up (When installing Windows). my core is: AMD Athlon XP Codename: Barton Specification: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ MOBO: A7N8X Deluxe Rev2 BIOS 1009 AGP Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS I think in BIOS it has an option as to whether ssci should boot first or SATA. If this is true then I should be able to use the ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS. and it should boot, right? TIA |

I couldn't find my motherboard CD so I left the IDE drive in the PC and also connected up a SATA drive. I installed originally from the IDE drive and let Windows install the SATA drivers. Subsequently I have re-installed from the SATA drive without problems. |
