All SATA systems are DVD writers as well. A few of the PATAs are only readers. Is it drive or controller dependent? What controller do the non-working machines have the CD drive attached to? I am also experiencing this problem with both of my machines, trying to install FC7T3 from i386 Prime DVD. My primary machine: ECS PN2+ SLI mobo with NVIDIA NForce 680i SLI chipset, 2GB RAM, Core2Duo 6600. Optical drive is LG (aka HL-DT-ST) DVD REWRITER drive HSA-G10N on IDE Primary Master. No secondary channel or other IDE drives. My secondary machine: Asus A7N266-VM mobo with NVIDIA NForce 1 chipset, 512MB RAM, Athlon XP2400+. Optical drive is MITSUMI DVDROM DM2000-TE on IDE Secondary Slave. Other IDE devices present. The install media: Philips 4x DVD+RW disc, verified burn using Nero 7 Essentials on Win XP x64. I used this same disc (with FC6 ISO) two weeks ago to install FC6 successfully on the primary machine. Two of my machines that work are nVidia 590 chipsets. I will have to retest all the others to remember which don't work and then find out what chipsets are and are not working. I realized today that test2 didn't work on all of them either. FC6 did! Ok, all my SATA based machines, sans my laptop (chipset coming by Monday night) work just fine. All of my PATA machines are the ones that don't recognize the drive (including one Plextor drive which I thought did work, but on checking didn't). Two of my working systems are Plextor + nVidia 590 (Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless editions). Two nForce 2 systems (A7N8X and A7N8X Deluxe, slightly different chipsets, but both saying they are nForce 2) are not working, one with a Plextor. My laptop doesn't have a Plextor. It is an HP dv6045nr. I believe it is an nForce 4 chipset, but I am not certain, as stated, forthcoming. One A7N8X variant has the DVD drive as slave on primary IDE. The other has it as master on secondary (no slave). I have two other systems I will test soon, an old HP Athlon based system and an old Epox motherboard system. I believe both have failed, but I am retesting to be certain. Okay, these all sound like more cases of sata_nv being chosen over better driver choices which I fixed in kudzu last week. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 225026 *** That may be. I found that, other than the laptop, which I haven't retested, that the harddrive isn't being seen either. So, this must be the case. |
