The BIOS is not that comprehensive. The only place that the DVD drive
appears in the BIOS is in the Boot Order list. I had to set a jumper on
the new 2nd SATA hard drive in order to get it to appear in Explorer or
Device Manager. Otherwise the 2nd hard drive would not appear anywhere.
If I detach the 2nd HD and reboot the DVD drive does NOT re-appear. The
only drive that appears then is the original hard drive. Is this a
problem with the 2 SATA hard drives configuration? A problem with IDE
ATA/ATAPI controllers? Or what???
