Computer not detecting IDE DVD-R drive or IDE HDD

by ldp_frog . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

I was installing a DvD-R drive into my computer when this occurred. I turned the computer on and it took an extremely long time to boot. It is not detecting anything IDE. I have 2 CD drives installed and one IDE harddrive (my main is SATA). These are not showing up in Windows or the bios. I’ve tried disconnecting the new DVD-R and putting the setup as it was but I’m still not getting any IDE drives.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks, Matt
