It's just the optical drives, right? Shutdown. Disconnect the IDE cables from said optical drives. Turn on your computer, wait 5-10 minutes (do nothing). Reboot. Shutdown. Reconnect the IDE cables. Make sure all cable/power/wires are firmly in place. Reboot, if you haven't messed with your registry or your computers not somebodies b*tch (bot) it (your OS, well XP will) auto detect your "new" optical drive(s).
