GavMJM Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hey guys, I'm relatively new to this, so I hope I make sense in this post. Basically, I have an ASUS P5K-E Wifi-AP motherboard, with an Intel Q6600 (which seems to be an incredibly popular configuration!). As you may know, it has a Jmicron IDE controller. I have an IDE Optical Drive, and therefore have my doubts that I will be able to boot an install disc. Are there any flavours of OSx86 that will boot from an IDE Optical Drive on a Jmicron controller? I have a SATA Hard Drive, so once installed I shouldn't have any problems. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impreswrx Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe, and I remember once being able to boot off the Jmicron while I was messing with different BIOS versions reverting back and forth I forgot which I used. I didn't really want to mess with that since it could potentially turn out bad. So I just used an external USB DVD-Drive. Hope this helps you some, from what I read it doesn't look like you will be able to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
