Clear your bios using the jumper.

Boot her.

Hello!!!!.Did anyone read this thread properly?? bendetto said that he is running XP why not simply use system restore,and go back to before the problem showed up?? :nerd:

334790 2005-03-20 01:56:00 Because system restore doesn't fix blown hardware :-)Do we know for sure that it is blown hardware though??a couple of things have disappeared - doesn't automatically mean blown hardware,the damaged usb port may be purely coincidence(it may explain the non-working usb ports)but why would that make the CD drive vanish?? :illogical B B (6979)
334791 2005-04-11 18:11:00 USB: You will most likely have to go into the bios and check to see if that usb support is on in the bios. Also some bioses have 'assign irq' in the settings. Sometimes if there is an irq assigned to usb, it may conflict with other resources in the system. Also sometimes turning off irq assignment in the bios will enable, or make the usb come up correctly.........if this dont work reply

Cdrom:take out the cd rom drive and adjust the jumpers...Also try changing it to Slave or CS and try it on your IDE 1 channel....maybe the motherboard ur running has 4 IDE slots and it wasn't using two so it was trying to detect drives from those slots.
