Loose ribbon cable?

Check that the secondary ide channel hasn't become disabled too - it sounds like you haver the power connection, but lost the ide somehow.

Gary.
 
Yup check your cable. Also check in device manager your secondary IDE Channel (under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers) is being detected and is working correctly, and is not disabled.

Are your devices being recognised when your PC POSTS at boot up?
 
Worked out that both are shagged tried in another pc. All I can say is you get what you pay for. Buy **** you get ****, spend a little more.
 
Umm seems a little odd they'd both die at the same time.
What make were they?
You did use a different cable when you tried them in another PC didn't you?
 
Well found that dvd drive still detects dvd's but not cd's. The cd writer is called Everspring it was a special from Ebuyer it's 40x12x48 and was £33 plus vat. So i think I'll upgade to Plexta.
