OK, pretty straightforward problem here:
both CD-Drives arent being detected in the BIOS. (both on same IDE channel)
Both HDD's are being detected.
Both HDD's are on the same IDE channel (as i found them)
so... i remove both drives, try them in my machined, they detect and work fine.
I put one back into the other box, and it will not detect the drive in the BIOS. I tried Cable Select, Master, Slave, and no jumper settings on the CD-Drive, on both the empty channel, and the one shared with a single HDD.
I know that the channel that the HDD's are currently on is not dead, as both detect and work fine. However, a CD-Drive will not work on that channel it appears.
What the heck am I missing here?
Should this jiust be put down to a flaky motherboard? it's an old P3 733mhz, so it is old enough to have natural hardware failure... but this seems rather odd, in that two HDD's will work, but one HDD and one CD-Drive will not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
