Well Yama you have a chance to catch up. My stuff came today and my mobo is bad best I can tell. It wont pick up a IDE CD-ROM and or HDD.

This will cost me a good 15k points in time just to get this fixed I'm sure. :mad:

I had the same problem with the IP35 E, it would not detect the IDE anything... so go sata and everything works ;) I got a sata DVD Burner, SATA HDD, no problems there...
 
IDE works fine on my IP-35E ... you guys tried flashing the BIOS up to v15?

Soooo..... I've got a bunch of IDE stuff and no SATA (ok one SATA drive but it's in use)

My econ folding minion just got more costly.

*sigh* :(

I don't see any updates for BIOS on the website... I may be blind, but don't you mind linking to the site? Thanks. Also I don't need to update anything if everything is working dandy fine...

EDIT: Nevermind - I never have felt so retarded, I went to ASUS looking for ABIT BIOS :( Yeah... I got it now, thanks.

Loading Abit's FlashMenu software will allow you to see which BIOS version you have on your board, and then will allow an update from there. I know some of you guys are sworn against BIOS flashing whilst in Windows, but I've done it a few times on motherboards and graphics cards without a problem.

This thread has invaluable information regarding the IP-35E, and I know I saw a couple links to BIOSes somewhere, but I can't seem to find them right now....
 
Jon, I'm not planning to put windows on this anytime soon, however.....


Does the IDE stuff show up in windows?

What happened to the days of a mobo just working?!
 
surprise surprise, a bad Abit motherboard, who would have ever expected that.

if you get one thats DOA, you are one of the lucky ones! at least you KNOW whats wrong with it!
 
Dang that sucks man. My IP35 Pro didn't have issues seeing my IDE DVD drive, but it's a different board too :( Have you tried one at a time to see if it may be a problem with one or the other since are both on the same cable at the same time?

Also, have you thought about getting a PATA to SATA adapter? Not sure if it'd work but maybe you could find one at a local shop that would let you borrow it or something.

I've no idea - I'm free of IDE... No idea, my apologizes.

HA!

I don't think I'll be free for years. I have about a TB in IDE drives not to mention the 5 or so IDE CD/DVD drives I have.
 
This is often a problem with the add in IDE controllers on Intel boards. The JMicron controller is the worst of the bunch I believe and also the most widely used. Linux hates the JMicron controllers. I have been able to do an install of Linux from an IDE DVD burner on the JMicron controller but once the OS was up and running I couldn't get the burner to work for shit until I purchased a new SATA one. After that everything was smooth sailing.

If you don't want to grab SATA drives you might want to look for a cheap PCI IDE card. You should be able to find the old Promise PCI IDE cards pretty cheap. They work just fine in Linux although you'll never get them to work in Vista if you decide to use it in a Vista machine one of these days.

:eek: Didn't think of that.......


*rumages though parts bin*

:D I know I keep this junk around for some reason.

And people wonder why I have so much "junk" laying around. That junk has saved me a good bit of money and trouble over time.

Hell, if I get hard up enough for a hard drive and CDROM I still have some old SCSI 3 stuff around. The 4.3 gig hard drive should still be good and the last time I used the SCSI CD burner it worked just fine. Sure, it's not a DVD optical drive, but there are still plenty of Linux distros which come on CD.

Up and running, burned in over night E4500 @ 2.5Ghz puts 1800 PPD. I'm going to push it higher up to 3.0 :D

I love my parts bins :p
