CD ripping problems

[mkhadafi]

I'm running a Leadtek K7NCR18D-PRO motherboard with DVD-16X BDV316C DVD drive as the secondary master and a HP CD-Writer+ 9100 as the secondary slave. I just recently upgraded to this setup. I am not able to rip CDs with this new setup. My previous setup was with a different motherboard and only the HP CD-Writer+ 9100 as the secondary master and I could rip with no problems. Now everytime I attempt to rip CDs under this new setup I get read errors when using MusicMatch and/or empty MP3 files when using CDEX. Why would this be? I've noticed the drives on are only being seen as ATA33. Is this correct? Would reformatting and installing windows be a good idea? Would that even help? I'm stumped and really want to know how to fix this problem since I just recently got an IPod and have no use for it without the ability to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would reformatting and installing windows be a good idea?

When you did your upgrades, did you reformat and reinstall the OP/SYS at that point, if the answer is no, then the answer to your question is Yes!!!

Yes, I did reformat before. I went ahead and did reformat again and it made no difference. However I did notice that Win2K is installing both my drives as SCSI drives even though they are IDE. Do you have any idea why this may be?
