Please, don't top-post... Thanks.
So i assume you already have "Plug and play os = NO" in the BIOS.
Then you'll need to set "Reset ESCD = YES" one or two lines below.
This will force BIOS to reassign resources for PNP/PCI hardware.
Look at startup banner after BIOS's one, both your cards should be
listed there...
Note: "Reset ESCD = YES" line in the BIOS may appear as
"Reset configuration data = YES" or something alike,
this varies in different BIOSes. Note also that this
line is "one-time-switch"(? - sorry, cant think of proper
English expression), that is you set it to YES, but
it is used only once and then again appears as NO.
Or as a last resource you can try to assign resources for PCI
clots manually...
HTH,
Igor
