Hi All,
I have an Asus P5KPL-AM motherboard, 1x SATA HDD, 1x IDE HDD and 1x IDE DVD-Rom which is currently disconnected.
The SATA drive is set as the boot drive with Windows 8 on.
The IDE is set to master (via the jumper on the back)
Without the IDE drive being connected the computer boots up within seconds, as soon as the IDE drive is connected it taks 5+ minutes to boot up.
I can't understand why adding the IDE drive in should add such a massive load time.
Under "Storage Configuration" in the Bios I have the following :-
ATA/IDE Configuration [Enhanced]
Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA] (other options are P-ATA, S-ATA+P-ATA, by selecting either of these the system boots fast but the IDE drive doesn't show up in Windows)
Any thoughts please, its driving me insane.
