Okay, just thought it might be something obvious or some oversight from my 
side ..
The system I use:
ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe Rev1.06 (nForce 2 chipset) (XP2500+, 2x 256mb)
120gb Seagate HDD on on-board Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATARaid Controller
Toshiba SD-M1612 (DVD-Rom) on Primary IDE Master
AOpen CRW 4850 (CD-RW) on Primary IDE Slave

Thanks in advance
