Man, I'm stumped on this one.
My bits, pieces, and parts arrived from Newegg yesterday, so I plopped down last night to put it together. System as it currently stands:
Motherboard: MSI K8T Master2 FAR
CPU: 2x Opteron 246
RAM: 1GB Mushkin ECC Reg. PC3200
SATA 1: WD Raptor 74GB
SATA 2: Hitachi 160GB
IDE 1 Master: Lite-On DVD-Rom
Video: ATI Radeon 7000 Sapphire OEM
Case: Kingwin ALU KT-424-S
PS: FORTRON 550W
I installed Windows XP Pro without a problem, but once Windows was fully installed, the DVD-Rom stopped working. I can see the drive light on, but it just spins forever, regardless of what CD or CDR is in the drive. I can tell from the drive sounds and the inconsistent blinking rate that it's chewing on something. I eventually get a "Stream error" message in Windows.
I've swapped out the drive to an Asus 52x CD-ROM, with same results.
I've chucked the round IDE cables that came with the mobo for a traditional 80-pin IDE cable.
I've tried both Master and Cable-Select jumper settings on the drives.
What gives???
