just like that? you didnt mess with the connections/jumpers?
was there a power surge before it happen? if you havnt messed with the connections/jumpers then test em on another pc and report results

1. Please turn off CAPS
2. Check all jumper settings and make sure that they are set properly. Also, check to make sure that all your connections are secure.

Also, check to make sure that all your connections are secure.

SHAWN has probably hit the nail right on the head there. sudden issues like this are normally a cable that has worked its way loose

did you tamper with the bios? it could also be that you disabled that ide channel

 

[DASNIC]

I CHECKED EVERY CONNECTION, EVERY CABLE AND STILL NOTHING. I dont know do you think it could be the mobo, but it would be weird if it is because no weird post beeps.

when trying to boot up it comes up with disk boot failure, and the cd rom wont open, because it is not getting recognize as well, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

 

[jeremy]

calm down , as alredy said check em in another pc then youll know if the mobo is faulty

 

[Static_11]

bad ide cable a possibility?

 

[Nitestick]

well seems like we either have a simultaneous drive failure or a bad power supply. the cd-rom should eject regardless
