Hi Guys,

I am starting to lose my rag now.

I got a brand new Western Digital HD today.

Whack it in.. wanting to install Windows...

But guess what... my DVD-Drive doesn't work. It only works when I unplug the Hard Drive. With the Hard Drive plugged in, it doesn't get detected! What's up!? It just hangs at the JMircon PCIE-to-SATAII/IDE RAID Controller or whatever!

Motherboard: Abit AB9 Quad GT

Please guys.. I need help. I need ot Game!

TIA

It's a SATA Drive..

I've been crawling the web for some answers... Many people say disable the JMircron RAID. I've done this, it no longer hangs.

But now my DVD-Drive still has no power. It does before the Verifying Pool but after it seems completely dead!? I have no idea.
 
Tried all combinations, to no avail.

I am so jarred off. 4 months without a computer. Got a new Motherboard. Tried it.. Hard Drive went.. Saved up, got another HDD.. and now this problem.

I think the next thing to do is to source another drive.
