    Considering that it has a 1GHz processor and 256MB of ram, I don't think it's wise to invest in an IDE controller. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    It's not compatibility, the drives were stock and worked in the past with the mobo.

    As Detale suggested I'd try a different cd/dvd drive....and if you had a spare HD just to be sure too.

    You could also take out the cmos battery and leave it out for a few hours, pref over night and that should reset the bios.

    Make sure the jumper settings are set correctly..... I'd certainly try a cd/dvd drive though for sure.

    Good luck
