Ther's none. But for that money it has to work properly in any simple configuration like mine. I had a GA-P35-DS3P rev1.0 before and everything was perfect. This board is more expensive, more competitive and don't have to have this problem. That's all.

Thank you guys. Now I'm sure that I have a problem with my mobo. I've changed the optical drive and problem persists. On the purple conectors (JMicron) optical drive works fine. The problem is on ICH9R controller. I needed a second opinion to be sure BTW don't use F9 BIOS on this board. It causes problems on RAM testing (a false positive error).

I have a mobo issue (or not). 1. My optical drive (ASUS DRW-1814BLT) won't boot any disk but Windows XP when it's connected on ICH9R sata port and raid function is enabled. If raid function is disabled everything is ok. I have to mention that even the optical drive name is not correct displayed whet raid function is enabled. And again, all it's ok with raid function disabled. Why all that? Is this all right? 2. In boot sequence when recognize raid disks (connected on ICH9R), at the end of detection it says that AHCI BIOS IS NOT INSTALLED. Is this a problem?

thanks.

Is there any method to slipstream SP2 on a trial version of Windows XP Professional? I've got this error.
