Hi all,
I have an Asus A7V133 mobo. It has four IDE channels, two of which are supposed to be UDMA 100. The other two are just labeled as the primary (main) channels. In other words, any device I plug in to it will show up in the startup screen.
ex:
Primary Drive: Maxtor 40GB
Slave Drive: Maxtor 40GB
Secondary Drive: Sony DVD+RW
Slave Drive:
If I plug any devices on the UDMA channels, it does not show up in startup.
I'm curious about installing two DVD burners in the system (Sony DVD+RW and Pioneer A04). If I put my two hard drives in the UDMA 100 slots and my burners on the other two channels will it cause a conflict?
I'm not sure how the mobo handles this. I'm not even sure if I can select my 1st boot and 2nd boot devices as my hard drives if I connect them to the UDMA 100 channels.
Anyone with experience in this?
Thanks!
