Yep :) it is set to "CDROM"

It is kinda different in the BIOS - here's a basic rundown:

Under "Main":

> Primary IDE Master       [CDROM]
> Primary IDE Slave        [None]
> SATA Port 1              [80026MB SATA1]
> SATA Port 2              [80026MB SATA2]
> ... etc

Under "Advanced" - there is I/O Configuration:

Serial ATA: [Enabled]
   Native Mode Operation:   [Auto]  {Auto/Serial ATA}
   SATA Controller Mode Option:  [Enhanced]  {Compatible}
   >> SATA AHCI Enable	[Disable] {Enable}
   >> SATA RAID Enable  [Disable] {Enable}

Notes:
>> Compatible Mode: SATA and PATA drives are auto-detected and placed in
Legacy mode. (Default)
>> Enhcanced (non-AHCI) Mode: SATA and PATA drives are auto-detected and
placed in Native Mode.
