decided to switch out a dvdrom for a hdd. i made sure the hdd was correctly set to slave and booted up... bios detects everything -correctly- on ide2 but neither of the drives show up in windows explorer. i turn the pc off and attempt to reset the hdd and manage to break the ide cable at the plug... i think nothing of this, replace the cable and try again... no luck, same as before. i pull out the hdd and put back the dvdrom, thinking 'well, at least i'll have music (the primary device was a dvd burner)' and am totally surprised when again windows explorer shows no other drives... W...T...F?!! could someone help me out here?
