I am looking for a DOS device driver that supports the SATA DVD drives used in the E520 and other systems based on the Intel ICH8 chipset.

 

I tried the GCDROM.SYS v2.3 in the recommended configurations, but it does not recognize the DVD in any of multiple client machines.  The machines are running RAID-ON in the bios, rather than AutoDetect.  I do not want to change this to ATA emulation mode.

 

I need to boot various maintenance CDs that use DOS level utilities, such as Partition Magic.  I have a work-around in place, by using a USB-Thumb drive configured with FlashBoot as HDD emulation.  This works well, but I still want to find a DOS driver for Dell SATA DVD drives.
