The problem I have is that the mainboard I have is a PCchips P13G with
two SATA channel and two IDE. My hard-disk, a Samsung SATA 160GB,
works well; but the CD-ROM device is not recogniced by the BIOS. I
need to format my operating system y there is no way to do it without
a CD_Rom device.

Mi first try was to change the power supply box, now it is a 500W one
and the problem is still happenning. Then, I�ve changed the CD-Rom
device and I have no good answer from my pc; and in addition, then i
changed the IDE data-flag. And it doesn�t work!. I�ve tryed swapping
the IDE between the two conectors onto the mainboard and its still no
working.

Is there any special way to configure the BIOS of this kind of
mainboard? I must say that the IDE CD-ROM device was working well one
week ago. I think somebody at home have changed my BIOS configuration
by mistake. But now i need to know how fix it by configuring my BIOS
apropriately in order to get the IDE device working together with my
SATA HardDisk.

Thanks in advance.
