Just trying to cover all bases, I remember now that you said that you've tried another device.

Not sure where to go from here, apart playing the death march for the board.

Not been trying failsafes just yet. I will though in a few.

Update:
Hi, just want to report that failsafes didn't help.

Just a quick follow up on what have happened with this problem.

Even though I can't be totally sure, the current facts tells me that my IDE controller is indeed dead

I plugged in a SATA optical drive today and everything is working fine (so far)

Again, many thanks for your helpful assistance.

Best Regards
P

well least it wasnt an expensive fix. You could buy yourself an atapi compliant PCI Ide controller and run the old optical off that and have 2
