Hi,
I have a western digital 250g that I originally had set up on Sata Ch0 master
I recently bought a sony dvd burner which is Sata.
The system sees this on start up as Ch1 master. System starts then a quick blue screen of death. Then restarts again.
Seeking advice to rectify issue.
 
Sounds like you may have changed southbridge sata modes. Did you switch from IDE emulation to AHCI/RAID, or vise versa?
 
Not that I know of .I was into the properties and all . Where would I go in the bios to fix this issue?
 
Your motherboard's user manual has information on which settings are in your BIOS. Use that to help you.

You may want to also download the Ultimate Boot CD and burn it onto a disc, in case you're unsuccessful with Menelmarar's suggestion.
 
Hi, pulled the manual last night was in the advanced CH 1&2 settings. Auto.0,1,2 and 3.
System sees HDD ch0 and dvd on CH1 both master
However, when I go into the sata settings at start up only sees HDD on CH0. CH1 is non existant
I tried various settings in BIOS w/ no luck Grrrrrr
also got boot up no luck there system stiill just keeps restarting
Any suggestions???
 
Sounds like a problem with your Sony optical drive. Pull the HDD and leave only the sony plugged in, see if the BIOS detects it. If not, RMA it.
 
Hi enginurd,
That was my next step. I will let you know what the results are.
