I never plugged in my Blu-Ray drive because R2 is a nightmare to work inside, but today I figured what the hell. I got it plugged in and powered up and then my computer wouldn't boot. It gets to the:
"Verifying Boot Data......"
And it stops. I thought I blew my HD while working on it, but I unplugged my Blu-Ray and it booted fine. My configuration is:
Abit IC7-G
SATA connection #1 - Primary HD
SATA connection #2 - Secondary HD
SATA connection #3 - Blu-Ray ROM
SATA connection #4 - empty
It seems like some kind of conflict with the 3rd SATA connection being occupied, but I don't have any other way to use the drive. Maybe this motherboard isn't compatible with Blu-Ray? As long as it's a SATA drive it should work right?
