Be sure to check the BIOS settings to make sure
that both IDE channels are enabled. One would think they would be, if you had
devices connected to them and they worked before, but never assume the obvious
when working with computers...

I have a HP Pavilion 503n and all of the sudden the
secondary ide channel stopped working. This puts me in a dilema
because I was getting ready to do a fresh install of all of my operating
systems. If anyone has any idea of what the problem could be let me know.
I tried swaping the primary and secondary cables on the MB and the Optical
drives worked fine and the harddrives were not detected. If you have any
insight would be much appreciated. I am really not into the hardware side
of a computer. I upgrade and that is it. None of this diagnostic
stuff. LOL

too!
