OK, situation is as follows:
Primary Master: HDD WB 120 GB
Primary Slave: None
Secondary Master: Plextor DVD 716A
Secondary Slave: Plextor CD 16/10/40
I took off the Maxtor from the case because it was too noisy and basically I did
not use it.
The blank screen problem is now even worse :( 32 sec.
I have no clou why, the BIOS looks OK to me, it sees the drives correctly, but of
course there are so many other parameters that maybe one of them is creating the
issue??
Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you
Alex
