ide led blinking

nfenerlis · 02-18-2005, 03:33 PM

I have a terribly annoying problem.
My ide led is blinking about every second even thought disk is not accessed. I had the same issue with my pata disk to. Now ı am running in sata and it is blinking too. The blinking frequency increases whem my ide dvd rom and dvdwr is connected. Please note that the led is working fine in knoppix linux. It is blinking like this under Microsoft os.

Configuration :
Asus P4p800 Deluxe MB
Pioneer dvd 120 Primary Master UDMA Mode 4
Sony DRU 530 DVD wr Secondery Master UDMA Mode 2
Samsung HDD 80 GB 8 mb SATA Raid ready config.
Windows xp sp2

Any advise....
Thanks in advance...
