I've just installed a DVD-WR Samsung TS-H552 inside my pc and now the HDD
led is always on, even with no read/write activity.
Disconnecting the DVD-WR the HDD led works perfectly again.
I tried every solution connecting the DVD-WR to primary or secondary
controller as master, slave or cs, but with no result.
I've two O.S. working in dual boot: WinXP Pro SP2 and Linux Red Hat Fedora1.
In Linux the HDD led works well with the DVD-WR connected too, so cables and
hardware connections seem right.
Starting the system, the HDD led turns on after the Bios screens, just
booting WinXP, and it never switch off.

Thanx

ehm... red of shame!
I solved the problem updating DVD-WR firmware!
However, thanks
