I just upgraded my system with a new case, mobo, and memory.
Got rid of my epox 8rda+ and old antec tower and got an Asus A7N8X and a new antec tower.
Anyhow, I moved my other components over and all work well except for my Sony ide cdrom drive. It's a 52x drive that was working great but after plugging it into my new system it went nuts for a little while and now doesn't even show up anymore.
When I first plugged it in as a slave on the secondary channel, I would see strange characters during bootup drive detection and the drive wouldn't work.
After a few time of this, it now doesn't show up at all when I boot up or in my OS.
It is getting power, and the drive door can be opened and closed by pressing the button, but it doesnt show up at all during bootup or in the OS.
I've checked the jumper settings and they are correct. I've tried moving it to the primary channel as a slave, same problem.
Anyone know what the problem could be? It was working fine before.
Thanks!
