Please help me tell if my computer is fucked.
My computer is no longer recognizing my DVD or CDRW drives connected to one of my IDE cables. I recently swapped the cable for one of those spiffy new round cables, and i'm almost certain that it worked fine afterwards, because i think i played Morrowind with it in there. Not quite certain though. Today it wouldn't let me play because i have "no recognized CD or DVD drives" (and they are indeed gone from the My Computer folder). Tried putting the old cable back in and still nothing.
Anyone know what could have happened? Is the IDE interface on my motherboard fried?
Am i just an idiot?(yes i definatly pushed the cables in all the way) I guess tomorrow i start testing the drives in another computer to see if they still work.
help/advice very much appriciated
