I have a brand new Asus A7v133 board with an ATA100, Promise controller. It has the VIA KT133A chipset, a 750 Thunderbird, a 30GB Ultra100, western Digital drive and a HP 9700 Cd writer. There seems to be an incompatibilty between the HD and the CD writer. It takes forever to instal from the CD. (About 80 minutes for Office 2000). I returned the hard drive, the motherboard and the CD writer at each suppliers reccomendation. But the new replacements do the same thing. All three service departments have given up and MicroPro says I have had the MB too long to replace it for something else.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The HD is the master in the primary ata100 socket and the CD writer is the master in the secondary EIDE slot. I have tried other connections. Help!!
Thanks, Bill Heath
