I already have two SATA hard drives in the ICH5R ports. I tried adding a SATA CD drive to one of the Promise ports but I cannot get it to work. Is it actually possible?
So far I have tried these options in the BIOS
For all tests
IDE Configuration Tab
Onboard IDE Mode = Enhanced
Enhanced mode = P-ATA, S-ATA
Configure SATA to Raid = No
Advanced tab
1. Set the Onboard Promise option to disabled
2. Set the Onboard Promise option to enabled, set Operating Mode to IDE
3. Set the Onboard Promise option to enabled, set Operating Mode to RAID
None recognized the CD Drive.
