I'm working on a system that had a similar issue..I found the tray was bent downward slightly, I just pushed up on it a little with it open (not alot to break it) and that fixed it...not sure why it was bent down. I got the system for that reason...and when I tried to boot it up, I get Unmountable Boot Volume SO I'm now trying to figure out if the drive is still good before I tell the people that the computer they just dropped off...

A lot of miscellaneous reasons... Program still accessing it...perhaps some images waiting to be written Old/odd drivers still in the system for prior devices, if the old cd-rom wasn't removed from Windows before physically removing it. BIOS/firmware conflicts

i'm pretty sure it goes by the smallest drive in raid-0

since the things are fairly cheap i dont usually try and troubleshoot them. aside from the long and drawn out PITA process of trying it in different systems to narrow it down, maybe check the *-rom and/or mobo/controller mfgr for a firware update.

Worked fine, thank you.

You have to hunt around to find them though. I haven't actually tried using one yet but I've downloaded and burned them just in case. http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/window...disc-download/

I don't plan on gaming on this LCD I was looking at either..mostly just for surfing and such, so I wonder if the buy is worth it in those regards. Just general surfing, not for movies/videos and stuff like that, then ya I can see it being useful.

To be honest, it’s not worth the trouble of trying unless I know it’s for certain. I have an onboard Silicon Image RAID chip 3114.
