I installed a new AGP Video card ( ATI 9600 PRO A-I-W ) replacing my
ASUS V7100 DELUX COMBO. I am using Windows XP PRO – When I boot my
computer the DVD-ROM drive on the second ide channel in the slave
position is missing.

I can have XP search for the drive (search for new hardware) and it
finds it and it works fine. If I re-boot it is missing again.

I uninstalled the ATI card and re-installed the ASUS card, the OS
finds the drive and it works fine.

I re-install the ATI card and the problem is back.

The computer has:

Asus A7PRO with latest bios.

AMD 900 Athlon

512 MB

Second ide channel has CD-rw in master and 12xDVD rom on slave
position. I also tried a newer 16xDVD rom drive with the same results.

Fixed.

Swapping the master and slave on the second IDE fixed the problem. Why
did this problem only show up after installing the ATI graphics card?

Now have the DVD as master and the CD-rom burner on the slave
position.
