Computer mess

Doomulation

?????????????????????????
Since the upgrade everything seems to have gone wrong... :(
Anyway, the problem is that i can't start the computer this time due to that it cannot find my two harddisks. They are connected to the motherboard through a ATA100 (i think that's it) cable to IDE0 and are connected as Master and Slave.

However, how i turn them and put the cables, it doesn't seem to work. I've tried to put it both ways into the disks (the right and the wrong) and the power cable is plugged into them.

By using one configuration, it goes to the os booting screen without detecting the hds. The others, it cannot even detect any attached drives to the IDE0 at all. It keeps saying "auto detecting". Sometimes, it doesn't even find the cd-rom which is put as Master on IDE1.

I have no clue why this happens...any ideas?

um.. one check your bios to see if everything is ok.. eg.. if they are detecting the HDD(s).. check power supply and make sure all connected to HDD(s), check the back of the HDD(s) and see if its set to the proper setting for eg slave or wateva and check if cables are not damage and are correctly placed.. good luck:)

The bios part i might want to check and restore...
The cables might be be bad...i have an extra, let's try that.
The cables cannot be put wrong as i've turned them in both edges and tested. The power cables are put in as they should, though.
