:( Ok, All was great (sort of)

I had my Ata 100 IBM Hard Disk and my Lite-On 24102B on the same IDE Channel as master / slave (I know it was dumb)

So then I read that putting the CD Rom on the same IDE can slower performance down etc, so I put my CDRW to the 2nd IDE Channel as the master (only have 1 hard disk and CDRW anyway)

First shot, it wouldn't boot up - I forgot to switch the jumper on the CD-RW

Second Shot - It wouldn't boot up - DAMNIT :mad:

So I reset the CMOS Bios and it booted up, but then the unthinkable! The CD-RW decides to open the tray on its own!

Gadzooks! and it won't close!

So I hunt down Paul's Abit KR7A faq page and see there is a known problem of random ejects (My PSU is 431 watt enermax)

So I download the firmware thats supposed to fix it, and it did nothing :(

I'm running win XP, but can anyone help me :(

I tried to set the CD-RW back ont he same IDE as my computer and then update the firmware from the same IDE but the prob still persists :(
