but when i try to read to some cd or dvd it is not reading any thing...i dont know where i m missing some thing but it is a new one please help...

Try a firmware update.Which company CD/DVDs did you use.??If it was some cheap DVD,then it can be a cause of problem.

i searched in the bios but there is no option for setting sata to AHC1....please if u could tell me in a more detailed way what i have to do it would be nice
