    Where would I find that in the bios?

    EDIT: Now, I went to burn something to disc. PC gave me the blue error screen, where it was dumping the physical memory, and then rebooted...now it won't detect the other drive I put in!!

    Doesn't show up in the BIOS. I tried different SATA ports...worked, until I burnt something, now it doesn't! Nothing in device manager..

    so now both rom drives are not detected by the bios which points to possible motherboard issue. is your hard drive sata & if so then try all your sata ports to see if still seen in bios, don't bother booting into windows.

    All my hard drives work fine. They are all booting perfect, and can be seen in the bios.

    if can try on another pc with sata just to confirm both rom drives are not seen, other then that get new burners unless bad burners are still under warranty then get replaced.
