OK - I have 4 CD Drives in my tower, and I need to be able to boot from at least 2 of them (ideally all 4)
I have an ASUS p5gd1 motherboard
with ONE standard PARALLEL ATA IDE Port. and (RAID?) TWO PARALLEL ATA IDE ports.
my 2 hard drives are in the IDE port
the 4 CD Drives are running through the raid ports.
The Drives work fine in windows. And are detected in the second screen after POST
However during post they arn't mentioned, and they arn't in BIOS. In BIOS they are listed as detected.
A step further, after they are detected in the second screen it does recognize there is a bootable CD in the drive, but I have no option to actually boot from it.
What am I doing wrong ?
--- Using CDs from the 2 extra IDE ports arn't mentioned in the manual.
