Could you let us know how many devices you have connected (e.g 2 cd-roms; 1 hard drive) and how they are connected. (which device is on which IDE cable)
the hard drive should be set to master, the comp was working just fine before this problem. And everything should be set up properly
yea, il try the ide cable from the working cd-rom to the hard drive and check it out.
i got 2 cd -roms (1 master 1 slave) and 2 hard drives (1 master 1 slave).
