This is my first time building a computer so i have no other way to fix this problem. My secondary IDE drive doesn't seem to cooperate. I try fixing the BIOS, testiing it in the device manager, changing from ultraDMA ribbon to non-ultraDMA ribbon, fixing the drive from slave to master and vice versa, and switching the harddrive from primary to secondary, basically everything. All i am trying to do is to get the secondary Ide drive to read my dvdrom. I know that my dvdrom is working properly because i trie switching it to the primary ide drive and it worked. AFter doing all the switching and testing the message "working properly" still appear so i don't know what the problem is. Is there any other thing i can try so i can get my it to read my DVD rom thanks in advance and my motherboard is ASUS hope it helps. Please write to me at [email protected] thanks
