I have a Maxtor ATA133 80GB and a Shuttle SDVD-101 DVDROM that I am trying to connect on the same IDE channel. I have set the detection to auto in BIOS but when the BIOS boots up, it delays it's detection of the hard drive (with a "press F4 to skip" message). It then boots up normally and both drives are detected but when I work up the hard drive (e.g. by using Mehul's Backup to back up some files), it hangs and then crashes.
If I remove the DVDROM, the detection is instant and the program works fine. So it's obviously a conflict between the high speed hard drive and the DVD-ROM. Any ideas on how to resolve it?
