Hello... my pc detects none of my IDE devices. Further details...
MB: ASUS M5B
HDD : MAXTOR 250GB
DVD: LG
I have tried 3 differents IDE cables.. every possible jumper combination.. connected them one by one in every position and still cant see'em.
More infos.
I have 2 more HDDs installed and they work perfectly. Tried to install my old's pc disk to regain some files and thought was a good idea to add also the dvd recorder. TOTAL MESS. Nothing is being detected in BIOS nor OS. Any ideas?
