Comment: I have a P4ITA motherboard. I hooked up 2 80 GB WD BB800 7200 RPM and one DVD and one CD-RW drive. It works fine until last night I swapped my two hard drives and the my MainBoard can not recognize any IDE device. Could you please help me on that? Thanx

Reply: (edit)when you swapped, did you change IDE channels? on every channel, one device has to be master, the other slave

Reply: (edit)You have to change your jumper setting if you swapped your drives. The one that was the primary master you must change the jumpers to be the primary slave. Then the drive that was the primary slave you must change the jumpers to be the primary master. That is the exact same setup that I run. 2 80 gig WD, a DVD-Rom and Burner.

Reply: (edit)Yes I did try to re-set my jumpers(master and slave, and/or cable selects), but still the same problem. Before, I have two hard drives on same cable (I believe ATA133 with 80 wire on 40 pins), other two IDE devices (DVD and burner) hooked up to the secondary connection. I didn't touch these drives, but the two hard drives. Now none of these IDE can't be seen by my mainboard. Any idea? Please help.

Reply: (edit)If I understand you correctly you have 4 ide devices connected. I would make sure the hdd (which contains the system/boot etc) is configured as the master and works on the primary channel, then try it on the secondary channel. Then connect the other ide devices one at a time and see that they function. You shoulds also checkout that the bios is
configured correctly Good luck - keep us posted.
