Since I'm getting a new motherboard soon, I suppose it doesn't matter, but my BIOS is acting strange. It isn't detecting my CD-R drive, according to the POST, but I can use it just fine in Windows. Anyone know what could be causing this? BTW, this happened very suddenly -- the BIOS used to detect the drive.
 
So......., what you do?

This is the only logical thing I can think of. :)

Did you touch anything in the BIOS? If it works in your OS, don't ask questions or touch anything, just keep using it.

One of the wisest things I ever heard was "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
So there you go :-)

"Half the world is composed of idiots, the other half of people clever enough to take indecent advantage of them."
 
Lacking in the engineer spirit there. "If it ain't broke, improve it!"

Anyway, that isn't the advice we need to give. No matter what he did or didn't do, it is now a problem. Until someone offers a suggestion, or we are told what happened (if anything), not much work for us poor people.
