I have a WD 80gig special edition and the boot up is really slow. It takes about 1-2 minutes to boot into Windows. The best buy guy said that I could possibly set up a raid using one drive to make it faster, but I don't know if this is even possible; I do have a raid motherboard though. Anyway...

This is starting to get frustrating. I put the HDD on the first channel in the primary port. Then I put the DVD as slave in the first channel also in the secondary port. Then I put the CDRW as a master in the second channel primary port. Then when I went to the BIOS it detects the DVD as a...
