I have just built a new system and after much trouble setting things u
everything is finally running. The problem is, while my DVD drives ar
working, it is taking a LONG time for vista to access them making i
virtually impossible to install any software/drivers from disc. Whe
trying to access any information, the system will usually hang for 5-1
minutes before accessing the drive for 20 seconds and then hang again.
Relevant details of the system as follows

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3
HD: WD 500GB SATA
Optical: 2x Pioneer DVR-215 (FW. 1.18 - latest)
Vista Home Premium 32bit, all updates installed

Any help greatly appreciated so i can start to actually use m
system..

Was this issue ever fixed?
I've exactly the same Motherboard (GA-M56S-S3) and Pioneer DVD drive
getting the same problem.
Fixed it swapping DVD drive for an IDE variety but ideally would like
to find out why the SATA one has such probs

Cheers
Chris

unfortunately not, i ended up using the same fix you have...doesn'
matter a great deal as optical drives not up to SATA speeds but woul
have been nice not to have the chunky IDE cable taking up space..

Righto, thanks for getting back to m
My best guess is that its a 'feature' of the motherboard not acceptin
SATA DVD drives just ye
