CD and DVD gone - is this perhaps a Motherboard IDE problem? I sure do not want to RMA my Motherboard.
I tried the XP registry fix program in the sticky and no joy.
Now when I look at the registry I have
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet001
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet002
I sitll can't see my DVD or CD drvies. What do I do about the extra currentcontrolset in the registry?
I have already tried a different IDE cable, Unplugged power to my CD drive, tried the 2 registry fixes (in the sticky), reset the jumper - now what? I am afraid if I buy a pci IDE card that I won't be able to boot off of my optical drives. In addition, I would have to sacrifice my fax modem card because my massive video card gets hot and I don't want to mount a PCI card directly over the expensive video card.
Please someone help.

Thanks, I also discovered that when my optical drives show up again then so does the IDE controller in the device manager. This is beginning to look more and more like a hardware problem. DRAT - I just bought a new SATA DVD drive online. Hope that will be a viable work around and that other components on the mobo don't start going bad.

I still have hope that it is something that I can resolve though. I hate the thought of losing my onboard IDE controller. At least I still have my floppy.
