Ok, i have the ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe motherboard. I have 4 SATA HDDs and 2 SATA CD/DVD drives.
The motherboard has 6 SATA ports, the first 4 are standard and the last 2 only support AHCI(i think thats it) or RAID.
I have my 4 HDDs in the first 4 ports and the 2 ROM drives in the last 2 (AHCI or RAID) ports.
I am running all drives HDD and CD in ACHI mode! however i cannot boot from the CD drive when it is i nthis mode?
I had to install an IDE drive to install vista to boot from the CD drive.
Is there anyway to boot from the CD/DVD ROM drives when they are in SATA AHCI mode?
