Help Installing 2 SATA DVD Drives
I recently bought a P45 motherboard and am looking to run two DVD drives along with a SATA Hard Drive. The Hard Drive is recognized by the bios, but only one of the dvd drives is (In Master). I was wondering what i have to do in order for the bios to recognize both DVD drives?
The hard drive doesnt seem to have a jumper place where i can move pins like the drives (master, slaves, cable ). Please help! Thank you |

Help Installing 2 SATA DVD Drives
SATA drives have no master/slave - check molex and SATA connections, use another cable if you've got it.

Help Installing 2 SATA DVD Drives
Are the DVD Drives definitely SATA ?
your comment "but only one of the dvd drives is (In Master)" makes me wonder if these are IDE drives. My System: Home Build

Help Installing 2 SATA DVD Drives
These are IDE but they both have an IDE to SATA converter. I do not know what boot method to put them in, so i tried master (since sata's are already in master), but no luck. i ended up buying another SATA drive since only one of mine worked, and it fixed the problem.
