cd rom isnt recognized on my new asus mobo...help!
madk:
Switch the jumpers to cable select and see if that does anything.
hulkster:
switch to cable select on both? or just one?
JustMichael:
All.
hulkster:
k, changed the jumpers both to cable select,with each on their own controller and cable. went to the bios, changed the primary master to "user hdd" and the secondary master to "cd-rom"...booted up, and now the hard drive works, but the cd rom does not! geez. help again.
p.s. - just to make sure, looking at my ide cables....does it matter which plug is plugged into each drive. like, i have the ide cables where one end goes to the motherboard (its blue) and then there are the two other plugs that are close together. which one goes on the drive? does it matter? i mean, if i switch something to Master, and each drive is on its own cable....do i need to plug a certain one in instead of the other?

Did you check ASUS's web site maybe they have a BOIS update that might fix the problem. Or do a search with google you might not be the only one with that problem. Am I correct in thinking that you are using a new motherboard with a HDD from another computer that has a op system installed in it?
