    I have an older ASRock K7VM2 mainboard and have a question about the bios reporting cd-rom details incorrectly.
    I had a Maxtor USB external drive connected to the board that while windows was running, unplugged itself by being bumped out of the power supply. It took a while to figure out why windows would not shutdown. I turned off the machine manually and could not get windows to start until i unplugged the external drive from the USB connection. After solving that problem, the BIOS loading screen used to specify both primary and secondary devices with details such as a manufacturer and what the drive was. (DVD-ROM, CD-RW samsung and so on) Now what i get is ATAPI-CD-ROM on both secondary master and slave reports. This is very confusing to me. The details show up in the bios setup screen but continue to not be reported accuractely by the bios check screen on boot.
    What can i do to remedy this? Or should i just leave it alone?

    Are the drives working correctly in Windows?

    If they are I wouldn't worry about it too much but, you could reset your bios if your really worried about it.
