has anyone else had similar issues with this board and how did you fix it if you had issues? thanks
witblits1970,
You may have already tried this. I had a problem with the SATA Plextor SATA DVD/CD drive on my home system that was the same as what you are experiencing. My only "workable" solution was to use an IDE DVD ROM for the installation of Jaunty 9.04 X64. After that was successful, I discovered my MB had two different "types" of SATA ports, and the one I had selected to use with the DVD/ CD drive was one of the "different" types - I believe these were for "On-board RAID" devices. Once I moved the Plextor SATA DVD/CD drive to a "standard" SATA port, all worked correctly.
I looked at the ASUS site pages, and found there are several versions of this MB. Could you supply the exact and complete Model and version for clarification...??
Just a thought...
