    Hi i have just installed a pioneer DVR-216 and have a strange problem. It works fine i have burnt a couple of discs with it.
    But my problem is every time i open a new window or browser the drive tray opens.The only SATA ports i have left available are the purple ones

    I swapped one of my hard drives over to the purple slot and now the burner is working properly. But now the HDD is erratic sometimes it is there and sometimes it isn't. When it is detected i have the safely remove hardware icon in the taskbar
    My mainboard is a GA965P-DS3P and the bios settings are
    SATA RAID/AHCI mode currently disabled
    available settings are
    disabled
    raid
    AHCI

    SATA PORT 0-3 native mode currently disabled
    Available settings
    disabled
    enabled

    Onboard SATA/IDE CTRL mode currently IDE
    available settings
    IDE
    AHCI
    RAID/IDE

    Will changing any of these settings make it work like a normal SATA port.

    Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
