Do you have the jumpers on the drive and DVD/CD set correctly? That is the most usual cause of a drive and DVD/CD on the same cable not being detected.

Replace IDE cable with new one. It happens when you accational remove the HDD or CD-rom. Or convert them to SATA. There are IDE to SATA coverter. But for sure replace them with new one. ")

Do you have the IDE channel disabled in the BIOS?

its seems to be enabled also where can i find a sata to ide converter

im canadian so it has to be on a canadian site

On some asrock boards you have to have the hard drive and cd/dvd drives running off of separate ide ports. Could be the case with your board as well.

well i had that motherboard before in my other system and it was working fine with a hd and dvd burner on the same port

The jumper must be slave to the other one and master to the other. Or try using atleast 1 of them. Maybe 1 device is defective or your PSU cant powerup them both.

The ide to sata or sata to ide converter usually made from hongkong or shall we say China. I don't know if you can find that on Canada. It costs less than us$10.
