CD drive no longer shows up

[Jenny]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt (More info?)

On Asus P4GE-V with w2k OS, a Lite On cd r/w just stopped showing up.
It was the only drive on the secondary IDE connector. I put the drive in an
other puter and it shows fine. In my Asus, it ejects and has power. I
replaced
ribbon cable with known good and tried changing jumper from cs to master.
I of course uninstalled the drivers from Device Mgr, but as soon as the
computer
turns on it rebuilds the driver to no avail. The drive doesn't show in the
BIOS
either so it is unusable to boot from.
I have done several virus scans with no show of problems.
What else can I try?
TIA

That's a good idea. I currently have two harddrives on the primary but I
can
rearrange things and that is the next easiest step I guess. Thanks for the
idea.

This is just a thought, but, I wonder if your Secondary IDE went out?
I know the chances of this happening should be somewhere between slim
and none, but, anything "could" happen. The only reason I am thinking
this is because you said that the drive isn't even recognized in the
BIOS. If it isn't recognized in the MB Bios, that could spell
trouble.

I guess we shall see after you rearrange things in the machine.

It doesn't show as slave on primary - and yet it does show and work in
another computer.

Correction. It still doesn't show in My Computer but it now shows in the
BIOS. I even
used the OS boot cd to boot and do a fast repair, but still no luck. Now
what??
Thanks to all for your help!!!!

I haven't tested my other harddrive on the secondary yet to see if it shows.
But it is now
late and I have to get up very early. So I will make that test tomorrow.
I'll let you know.
Obviously, that will tell us if the secondary IDE is working.

Try TweakUI

Have you recently installed nero after having used adaptec/roxio to burn
CDs.

If so, check on the nero site for help as it is a registry entry that is
screwing your system up.

Really easy to fix, delete on registry entry.

That was it Gnome!!!. I got a driver conflict and reg cleaner from Nero and
much to my
amazement, it worked. It removed 5 conflicts (I have no idea where they
came from).
The items removed were CDRAL.DLL, CDR4_2K.SYS, CDRALW2K.SYS,
Service:CDR_2K, and Service:CDRALW2K. Then I ran the reg cleaner and it
fixed
an error (didn't say what). Presto, magico, done. Thanks Gnome!!!
