Please log in for more thread options There may actually not be a listing for the letters "DVD" but an earlier usage of CD-ROM in the bios. To insure that you're seeing the DVD-ROM temporarily disconnect the CD-ROM from the cable and see if the DVD-ROM still shows up. You can always add the CD-ROM drive back in after installation.If it does as a CD-ROM then you've done the job right. Also, make sure these drives are jumpered appropriately as master and slave if they are on the same cable. Some DVD and CD-ROM drives are particular to having themselves set as 'master' and don't like being a slave. No pun intended. If you get this far and can boot to XP then you may also be thoughtful that XP may need you to use a SATA driver to actually see your SATA drive, that would be copied from a floppy disk, which would depend on the way the motherboard translates SATA drves as IDE drives for the OS. If the drive gets seen by XP for installation none of that would be necessary. Jan Alter bearpuf@verizon.net | ||||||||||
