your right there on that one , I had to set mine to none . now I have a problem if I use another HD as D drive and I had to partition it for D and E do I need some other controller card to settup my CDROM and if so how do I jumper the cdrom? for slave or cable select? or do I set jumpers on the extra card itself, I hate haveing to change the cable and setting every time I need to load something from cdrom or something from the other drive.
