Hello,

I have an old ide 160gb, new sata 320 gb hdd, and an ide dvdrom. I have a problem having to detect my ide dvdrom in BIOS. the new sata hdd appears as sata-master1 and the old ide shows as ide-slave0 in BIOS, but the ide dvdrom is not being detected. Played with the jumper settings, connections, cables, but still no go. I also notice that it always put the ide hdd as slave under the "ide master0-slave0" connection with the jumper setting as master.

I then tried to connect just the ide and sata hdd's. The sata was on the sata-master1 and the ide was on the ide-slave0. Then I removed the ide hdd and connected the ide dvdrom, then the ide dvdrom appeared under the ide-slave0.

To visualize:

connected devices: ide hdd(jumper setting-master), ide dvdrom(jumper setting-slave) and sata hdd.
bios shows:
ide-master0 - none
ide-slave0 - 160gb
sata-master1 - 320gb
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none

connected devices: ide hdd(any jumper setting) and sata hdd.
bios shows:
ide-master0 - none
ide-slave0 - 160gb
sata-master1 - 320gb
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none

connected devices: ide dvdrom(any jumper setting) and sata hdd.
bios shows:
ide-master0 - none
ide-slave0 - dvdrom
sata-master1 - 320gb
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none

What I've been trying to do to appear:
ide-master0 - 160gb
ide-slave0 - dvdrom
sata-master1 - 320gb
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none
sata-master1 - none

Can this be done? Thanks in advance.
