Hi , thanks for looking :) , i had to swap out a faulty 1.8a cpu with intel
,and i now have its replacement
but for some reason i cant get the secondary ide channel to be recognised
anymore. i have tried all available bios's 1007-1011beta for the P4S533 ,and
set all defaults in the bios,set to auto /set to manual etc.... that didnt
help , tried replacing the cable (got a new one even too) if i plug the
CD/DVD into primary ide they are seen ok in bios etc. could the channel just
"die" ?

anyone seen this before , know any fixes or have another bright idea to try
?

thanks
Mick
 
Have a close look at the ide connector on the motherboard and make sure that
no pins are bent over. If there is a bent one be very careful while trying
to straighten it. They may break.
 
Thanks Ron , i did check that ,but all was ok before i swapped cpu ,I was
trying to reinstall windows from cd till i worked out the cpu was at fault
for the crashes i was getting and RMA'd it .
