Thanks for Belarc software - here is my motherboard info:

Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. i810-47B27X
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG 02/03/00

I have a SONY CD-RW CRX140E & a LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163.

Honestly, I kept my finger on CTRL-A, but still loaded normally.

Please let me know if any further info helps.

X-No-Archive: Yes

Twasn't me, you can reply to the poster that told you about it. You
don't need to post to the last post in the thread.

>Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. i810-47B27X

Can't find that motherboard code on the gigabyte site. The motherboard
code is usually something like

GA-8xxxx
GA-7xxxx
GA-6xxxx
or similar.

The chipset identifier i810 is Intel 810, searching Gigabyte manuals for
Intel 810 chipsets , gave this list of motherboard codes.

Intel 810 Chipset
Model
GA-6WMMC7
GA-6WMM7
GA-6WMM-e
GA-6WXM-e
GA-6WFZ7
GA-6WMM
GA-6WFZ7-1
GA-6WMM7-1
GA-6WMZ7
GA-6WMMC7-1

You may need to hunt around the site http://www.giga-byte.com/
yourself or ask in one of the gigabyte newsgroups if they can identify
it.

Both of those are (E)IDE devices and not SCSI. It looks like it was a
case of the Nero manual suggested the SCSI BIOS option change, but only
if that's the type of setup you have. It appears you don't have SCSI
CD/DVD so Ctrl-A won't do you any good.
