non ya see it, now ya don't!

I have an Epox 8RDA+, Freecom 8x4x32 & Mitsumi Dvd player in pc, they both worked perfectly with my normal ide cable but then i decided to replace them with some round 1's, so as normal i have the dvd as primary master the cd-rw as primary slave. I boot up with new round cable hooked up and neither drive reads disks, just churn'em around 4 a while, so i though dodgey cable. I then replaced it with my old ide cable,that worked perfectly 5 mins b4 hand.... and still the drives don't read...even though they had the exact same set-up 10mins b4.

I then proceeded to test them individually, but still they read nothing!

So neither of my drives read disks, i wasn't heavy handed, i didn't bend any pins, all cables work when tested on my hd's... whats going on??? Can i fix'em?

Any help would be real appreciated.

frosty i know of some other guy on the forum with your exact mobo whose having the same problemo you're have and he says ide2 is the culprit so why not put your dvd and cd rw drives on ide1 if you havn't already..
