make sure the master drive has a jumper set correctly.

i know one of my drives has a setting for Master ..and Master w/ slave.....and if it was wrong.....it would be all funky.

i'd agree with jessica, check the jumpers again

if you're using the same ide cable for the dvd that you've used on other drives, and it works on other drives, the ide cable is fine, and if other drives work on the ide controller, the controller is fine too

those two reg keys wouldn't affect this prob, b/c if it's not being picked up in the bios, it's not going to be seen by windows at all

i have had this prob with an hdd before too, i'd plug it up, tried slave and cable select, neither would work, and it turned out the jumper on the master hdd was set wrong, once i set that right everything was fine

um, as a last resort try, plug a different power connector into it, it's worth a shot, sometimes one of my hdd's will go funky and if i plug another power cable into it it works fine, /me thinks i need a new psu

Well it appears it was indeed the IDE cable, there wasn't anything wrong with the particular cable being used - it was just the wrong kind.

Took the machine to a technician the other day (thanks rc ) and he used an ide cable with, what looked to be, at least twice as many wires as the standard looking stuff. Wasn't aware such a thing existed - learn something new everyday.

Thanks to all who replied and hope this little tidbit helps someone out in the future.

Hi

From what you said in your initial post and now in your most recent response, it sounds to me that you may have had a SCSI DVD drive connected which, indeed, does require a different IDE cable with 50, 68 pins etc ...... that's why I asked you what model your Pioneer DVD drive was.

Anyway, glad you got it sorted.

@Brave01Heart

It's definately an IDE drive, just like the burner it's a slave to. It's called a Pioneer DVD-117. Was told on another board it's "better known as ata100 ide cable". Hope this info helps.

This cable you was seeing, is a "standard" double density IDE cable,
with 80 wires, instead of 40. The extra wires are for grounding, and it
is a _must_ for running UDMA60 or higher speeds.

Your DVD supports UDMA607ATAPI-5 speeds.
It's _normally_ not needed for running CD/DVD drives, but your bios might
have been confused, if it was set to DMA4/5 or auto, and your cable was not supporting it.

( Some cables for 133 even comes with a shield, that is to be grounded )
