Hi guys, I seem to have a similar problem to some other users on this forum!

I hat an MSI motherboard which has 3 IDE slots, one blue, two yellow!

Well it just seems that anything I connect in other than the Blue ide slot, the motherboard doesnt detect it!

For exemple a cd-rom drive!

I have to use the cd-rom drive, outside my computer box, connected on the same IDE cable as the HD, cause the cable is not long enough to get the correct CD-rom place!

Id like to know if anybody here got with a solution for this common problem!

Thx!
