| 356151 | 2005-05-19 05:56:00 | :groan: The 2 cd drives are off the same cable. I tried a new cable. No luck. The IDE port is ok in the bios. I unpluged the cable to the secondary IDE motherboard connection. This removed the yellow! from "device manager". I reloaded the IDE controller drivers and reconnected the cable to the CD drives. Still the CD drives are not working. Help Ron |

| 356152 | 2005-05-19 06:19:00 | did the yellow ! go from the divice manager when the cd drives where disconnected? | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 356153 | 2005-05-19 08:29:00 | :groan: When the CD drives were disconnected there was no yellow ! on the secondary IDE controller. Even just connecting either one the CD drives I have no luck, and the yellow ! shows up on the secondary IDE controller in "device manager" My OS is 98SE so I have no administration tools in the control panel to check out the integratory of the CDs. My motherboard is ASROCK K7S41GX Ron |

| 356154 | 2005-05-21 04:52:00 | :thumbs: I am halfway there. I have got one of my CD drives (number 2) to work by having only this one connected. When I connected the other CD drive (number 1) neither drives are detected. The other CD drive (number 1) when connected by itself is not be detected. It now seems that CD drive (number 1) is ready for the scap pile. Is it normal that when one CD drive goes bad, this knocks out the other drive until such time that the bad drive is disconnected? Thanks guys Ron |

| 356157 | 2005-05-23 10:52:00 | for what it's worth CDROM drive disappears - In device manager, both "Primary IDE controller" and "Secondary IDE controller" appear with a yellow exclamation mark - In device manager under "performance", all HD's appear in compatibility mode. Solution: Click Start, then Run... , and type regedit Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\IOS You should see a value named "NoIDE". Delete it, close regedit and reboot! |
