just took mb out to fit NB heatsink, went ok now i replaced everything and booted up but I cant get the dvdrw to be recognised seems the ide ports are knacked what can I do . Wouldn't have thought just unplugging and plugging them back in would have killed em???

so I think I'll just get sata DVDRW , its more future proof hey ?

Yer but, have you checked everything is plugged in properly, those molex plugs can be a begger to put in sometimes.

i hadn't moved the molex, but i guess one last check before i spend yet more money on this dam pc .

nope its dead.

Do i get a SATA dvdrw or an external DVDRW??
