Question: would that be in addition to or a substitute for? (I am concerned that my SATA DVD/CD burner would stop working.) Also, I downloaded the recent manual for my motherboard. The section has a new option not on my BIOS (1.2a) called "SATA ACHI Mode: on|off". The current BIOS is 2.1a -- I think it is time I ordered a new BIOS chip (I don't flash. I remove and replace the chip. That way I can go back if things go wrong, which has happened to me before.) Many thanks, -T
