I am running a Leadtek K7NCR18D-PRO motherboard. I have 2 hard drives that are on the primary ide slot and a DVD ROM and CD burner on the secondary IDE slot. I recently attempted to rip a CD and realized that both ROM drives are being detected as only ATA 33 drives. I've done several reconfigurations to see what was going on with mixed results. I flip flopped the IDE ports and this caused my hard drives to be detected as only ATA 33, but the ROMS where detected correctly. Obviously this wasn't the solution. I then made the DVD ROM the primary slave and it still was detected as a ATA 33 drive, but the hard drive that was the primary master was OK. I can't figure out what would cause this, or better yet how to fix it. Would getting a seperate IDE controller card for my ROMs be a good idea? Why wont this motherboard just read them correctly? I can't enjoy the XMas IPod without the abbility to rip CDs. Any help would be appreciated.

DVD: DVD-16X DVD-ROM BDV316C
Burner: HP CD-Writer+ 9100
 
Your optical drives probably are ata 33 devices...as a 52x cd burner only writes at 7.8mb a second...which is plenty easy for ata 33 to handle.

Even if they are ATA 33 drives, should I still be able to rip CDs with no problem. I used to have just the CD burner with a different motherboard and the DVD drive not in the chain and was able to rip CDs with no problem. Once I upgraged my machine with this motherboard and the DVD drive I was no longer able to rip CDs. What would cause this?
 
I think this could be software problem.
Try reinstall your ripper software, or even try other ripper. Check the ripper sofware web site, for any faqs, technical support etc.
