hi,I brought a pioneer DVD burner and it isnt show in my K2VM2 motherboard Bios.It does work in windows but i wish to boot from cd-rom .Do anyone know how to solve it ?
thanks
What kind of mobo do you have?
What kind of Burner do you have?
Are you doin any Overclocking?
Does the bios not see it at all, or does it just not see it as a DVD burner?
You may need to reset your bios, so as to update your "DMI POOL".
Depending on your mobo, you may not be able to boot from that drive, as I cannot boot from my dvd burner as well.
When in the bios, you should see something that says load optimized defaults or similar.
then save and exit, that will force the bios to update everything.
BUT DON'T DO THAT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR SETTINGS ARE!!!
Are you running any scsi or raid controllers? They could be over riding the boot sequence so it's not accessing the IDE channel first. Also check in your bios to see what you have your boot order set to, make sure that it has the cd-rom set to 1st boot device.
First maybe check compatibility?
Then maybe bios version?
The way i read his question is that he has a "pioneer DVD burner and it isnt show in my K2VM2 " and its not showing at all....So first thought is that its not compible...but have to check w/ both Manufacture's rigt?

But it is working in windows, which means that there is a layer somewhere that is picking up the cdrom that the bios isn't. Usually this is because of a different hardware controller that is loading the device outside of the bios. The other possibility is that it is actually showing in the bios if you go into the bios but not just in the boot screen.
