we read what you said...we have just never come across a system where the SATA Controller does NOT see the CD/DVD drives in
the BIOS......and therefore wonder as to why your system would do that..
By your answer I assume you are using the Promise Controller for the CD/DVD and have it turned on in the BIOS..both VIA and Promise enabled??
and have done what Andy suggested???
I also assume that you have tried the reverse set up..HD on the Promise SATA and CD/DVD on the VIA ???
Like I said this puzzles me and further research is required...I am still searching and nowhere have I run across any article where
the same problem exists...I have run across numerous tests of this mobo and they all loaded XP off CD without problems...
what's different on yours????

I don't think you guys read what I'm saying.
1. The SATA chip is fully enabled in the BIOS as stated before.
2. There is Hard drive connected to the SATA interface which the computer
boots from, so I know the SATA chip is working.
3. As far as the Promise chip goes, its not very good. It's totally unable
to detect any optical drive.
As far as I can see the only solution is the Floppy Install set?

Connect the DVD drive to SATA1 or SATA2 connector. In BIOS under
Advanced menu, Enable OnChip SATA Boot ROM.
