Yeah, OK, that does sound odd that it won't recognize it for the bootup. Probably something in the BIOS got changed or set that it only looks for a legacy keyboard or something.
Quote:Many high end performance motherboards no longer have support for IDE, instead it's many flavours of SATA, I've got 11, six at 6Gb/s, 4 at 3Gb/s and one mSATA which kills a 3Gb/s if I plug something in there
In other words, "we think you should replace hardware that you've been recycling from other computers" with regards to optical drives, while simultaneously saving a buck in manufacturing because they don't have to include additional connectors and controller logic. Fun. Yeah, I know new DVD burners are cheap now (MicroCenter has several for under $20), but it still galls me somewhat that a perfectly usable piece of hardware is now relegated to the scrapheap because the protocol is "deprecated".
I've got a handful of computers here in various states of "needs an OS", and most of them only have one IDE port. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised that motherboards now come without them.
