1. Another way to avoid, as you call it, the problem is to have the 2
   discs being recognized by the bios and leave the optical ones to be
   not recognizable.
2. You might want to disconnect all the discs and attach them one after
   the other to see when they will start being not recognized by the
   bios. With older hardware there were some jumpers on the discs to
   set.
3. Were all your discs ever been recognized by the bios? I mean, before
   the installation, was there any difference?
