Recently, I ordered two round ide cables. One worked fine, the other didn't. It wouldn't show the drives it was connected to, but sometimes it would show them incorrectly. I tried swapping them, but that didn't help. Upon close visual inspection I noticed that near the motherboard connector, one of the wire's casing is slightly damaged. Is this possibly the source of the problem? If so, can I just move the connect ~1/2 and inch to solve the prob? On that note, does anyone know how to open up the ide connectors? I'm having a tough time with it. Thanks for your help.
