Ok, I checked all the above as you asked Tumble, and this is what I got:

3 IDE slots (Blue, Yellow, Yellow)
On blue I got 1 IDE cable connected into 2 different HDs, jumpers on cable select! (BOTH ARE WORKING, and ARE DETECTED BY WINDOWS)

On the first yellow, I got another IDE cable connected to 2 DVD-roms. Jumpers: Master and Slave... Master is connected on the last IDE cable connecter, Slave in the middle one!

Bios Detect both dvd-roms as they appear on the boot screen!

But when logged into windows xpsp2, I go to windows explorer and they're not there!


Well, I know sometime ago, I did it to work somehow, but then I fdisked and clean whole Hard drive, and it stopped to work. I dont know if I possibly did something on the bios so it wont work anymore or not!

Let me know if it helps you getting the solution, or Ill answer to any question you may have to help me out!

Thx!
