So my dad got a new system. Core 2 duo system. Well all nice and smooth. However after putting everything together it was time for the boot. Also worked. Until we wanted to boot from the CD-ROM. And well it was impossible….. However it could in no way find the cd-rom. Now after an hour i finally figured out what it was. There is no onboard IDE controller. Well actually there is. But it is combinded with the raid controller. So i had to enable the raid controller. Turn on IDE. And then i could boot form the cd-rom.

Now I’m wondering what idiot tought of this? Who’s idea was it to think. Of course no one boots from cd-rom? And why o why did they design it so that it is almost impossible to use RAID and IDE? Now i do not use raid on the workstation. But damn. So all be warned for MSI motherboards!
