Mobo name Gigabyte GA-71X (about 4 yrs old), Hi-Val 12x-10x-32x CD-RW, Windows 98 SE
Why doesn't my CD-RW show up in BIOS?
Normal setup, one HDD set as master on Primary IDE and the CD-RW set as master on Secondary IDE.
BIOS only lists the HDD and shows None for master and slave on Secondary IDE.
The CD-RW works, shows up at post and in Explorer
