Hi Mark.
DVDs
The only means of testing that I have is to try an old (single-layer) DVD, and neither of the optical drives respond – although that might be XP taking forever to stop accessing the HD and not getting around to it. The drives are:
DVD ROM SD-M17122 (July 2003)
DVD-R-RW SD-R5112 (July 2003) Toshiba (secondary slave)
They are connected correctly and it’s unlikely they are both dead.
“USB controllers” set to V1.1 and V2.0, and I am using V2 USBs (how can I check this?)
I have set the USB legacy support and USB legacy mouse support to Enabled. My USB mouse still doesn't work.
I set the second & third boot devices to “CDROM” and “HDD0” respectively.
For the first boot device, I tried:
USB-FDD
USB-ZIP
USB-CDROM
USB-HDD
but the POST always indicates it’s “booting from the CD-ROM” (empty) and boots into XP from the HDD.
Please don't spend too much time on this, Mark, as I am happy to abandon it if necessary and put a new board in as the case and hardware are fine.
Many thanks.
Keith
