Issues with IDE
2009-09-21, 4:10 PM #1
so i'm having an issue with the IDE controller on my motherboard.

it worked fine a couple weeks ago (well, like a month ago) but now it isnt recognising any devices plugged into it.

i've tried replacing the cable, and resetting the CMOS. and thats all i really know to do.

any ideas?

when you reset CMOS did you go into the BIOS screen and make sure it was set up correctly?

yes i did. the drives (one optical one physical) were not detected by the motherboard.

Do the optical and hard drive share the same cable? If so test them seperately, there is a slim chance that either the hard drive or optical is malfunctioning.

If not, you are probably out of luck. It's usually at that point I consider getting a new motherboard because it's been my experience that PCI IDE controllers are pain to configure.
