I would say with the fresh bios everything should work as it did if not better than before.Just be sure to use the newer 4 in 1 drivers that you have downloaded. I want to jump back for a sec though...you mentioned the bios settings seemed off and you made some changes,have you loaded the default bios settings and tried the drive?

FYI

This is freaky .....

CDRW works on IDE2 as master no slave with H.D.D. being only thing on IDE1. If I install Rom as salve on IDE1 CDRW wont work. If I install Rom as slave on IDE2 CDRW wont work. Selfish little bastard...... This is all on my XP machine.

WTF ?

I think those Lite-On peeps are on drugs :wink:

Another thing to do is set the PNP OS setting to No so the bios will auto configure the devices.

Read for a better explaination :)
