8K5A2+ lastest bios *bug*
hello,

i just found what it seems to be a *bug* from the lastest bios for 8K5A2+.when a CDrom is inside the Cd player during the boot,the computer tries to boot from it BUT in no options in the bios i make him able to boot from the CD player.
that's seems to be unharmful but after removed the Cd-rom inside the player have no choice to unplug the power supply few seconds in order to be able to boot normaly.

regards
Ness

I think that problem is unique to you. My 8K5A2+ has the latest official BIOS and it boots fine with CDs in or out of the drive. Check you BIOS settings. Failing that, try another IDE cable or CD drive.
