Comment: Hi,
When I hook in my CD-ROM drive (50X Acer), to the cable with my hard drive (Western Digital 6.4 GB Hard Drive), there is no screen, Why? The cables are hooked in correctly also.
Thanks!

Reply: (edit)Most any CD-Rom drive comes with a Controller Card. U have to use that card to install the CD-Rom drive, and also get the proper IDE cable for a cd-rom drive. Plus after that you will need the drivers for that CD-Rom drive. I wouldn't suggest hooking it up like you did, you might damage something on the board, if you haven't already =P
