DS3 showing DVD drive & DVD-RW as scsi

[therat]

I have a DS3 with a DVDROM and a DVD-RW both IDE and they show up in windows as IDE not SCSI.

No idea why yours show up as SCSI.

Are you using RAID?

You are probably using the default MS XP IDE drivers and did not install the JMicron specific drivers. You should cos the default ones do not support the JMicron fully.

I have no idea. WinXP was preinstalled by the shop where I bought my system.

I thought the JMicron drivers were for RAID setups. I have 2 hard drives but not set up as RAID.

When I go into windows update I did notice that there were JMicron drivers listed there as a recommended upgrade but so far I haven't downloaded.

My DVD drives seem to be working fine so should I bother with the JMicron drivers?

My optical drives show up as SCSI because I'm using the correct JMicron drivers for XP. I have the JMicron chip configured as IDE since I'm not using the SATA ports and I'm not using RAID.
