Hi, I´ve just switched to a fulltower case and my IDE cables were too short. I bought new 36 inch cables (80 conductor) and after this my DVD-player works like crap, I get CRC errors all the time. I have two ATA-100 hard drives on the first IDE channel and my DVD and CD/RW on the second. The second IDE cable used to be a shorter 40 conductor cable and now I have a longer 80 conductor. I thought that the 80 conductor cables were fully backwards compatible.
Are the cable to long or must I use a 40 conductor cable on the second IDE channel. My hard drives and the CD/RW work ok.
My DVD is a LiteOn and my MoBo is an Intel 815EEA2.
Cheers
