So I got a new motherboard and reinstalled Vista x64.
Install went fine, but Vista can't find my DVD-RW drive! It's an IDE drive, and worked fine to install Vista with....

-It is not listed in Device Manager (tried scanning for new hardware)
-Not listed in BIOS
-Gets recognized during POST
-Drive gets power (will open and close)
-Tried different IDE cable

It worked fine with my old IP35-Pro, but it can't be found now that I'm using a Gigabyte EP35-DS3R.

Any ideas?
 
Bump

I tried flashing to the newest BIOS version for my motherboard and no success.
 
Do you have IDE port turned on in the bios?
Do you have the jumpers set correctly / matching cable head(?)..
 
I fixed it.
I had to install the Legacy IDE drivers, but my motherboard DVD would not load (obviously) so I used another CD to copy the contents of the motherboard DVD to a USB memory card and loaded the drivers from there.
All good now :)
