Reply: (edit)Disconnect one of the CD-RW or DVD drives. Then see if the one left runs. If it don't, disconnect it and plug in the other drive and see if it works. If neither work, install a new IDE cable. Then see what happens. YO

Reply: (edit)Did it just quit working? How are they connected? Primary slave, master, etc? In BIOS, are they set manually (or to auto?)?
