Hi, new to the boards so I hope this is in the right place, if not you have my apologies.
Theres probably a really simple solution to this th atI haven't thought of. I built a new system on a Foxconn motherboard recently, thought everything was working fine until I tried to burn a disc for the 1st time. Found that the dvd burner I'd bought and cd burner I'd taken from a previous machine weren't being recognised as anything other that readers. After lots of swearing I realised that both are being detected by XP as being SCSI instead of IDE. Anyone experienced this before and know how to get around it?
XP Home SP2
Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H Motherboard (95% sure, not at home to check it)
Sony AW-G170A DVD+/-R/RW
(Some old Lite-On CD +/-R/RW)
Don't think any of the other spec are particularly relevant but happy to give more info. Both ODDs use windows generic drivers and I've checked that I've got the most up to date drivers and firmware for them.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
