Hi elsa,

Might look over the above link, may be a support forum here that can address
the issue, your having..
Not sure if it is a good idea to have the CD drive on a raid controller, my
guess would be to connect it too the secondary IDE controller as a (M)
master or (S) slave, with the jumpers set accordingly..
However, if the IDE data cable has a device that is set to (CS) cable select
the CD-ROM drive should be set to (CS) as well..
Without knowing your systems specs and or who setup the raid controller in
the 6 month gap since the CD drive worked, might indicate perhaps a
connection was made to the raid (if actually a new card or onboard..?) card
in error, with the CD drive and a HDD on the same cable, that was originally
connected to one or the other IDE channels..?
So, you might just need to remove the CD drive from the data cable and
reconnect it to a free connector on an IDE cable coming off the mobo, if one
exists.. There also could be an indication in the BIOS or separate BIOS for
the raid controller too, though I am not sure if a CD-ROM is raid worthy to
begin with, this may be the problem..
With the Everest Home app, start it and click the (+) next to "computer",
*summery* and right click it, to do a quick report to text, cut & paste as I
have done, below..

Do a quick report for (+) *Storage*, cut & paste the pertinent info for your
IDE channels, as well the raid controller info.. See below..

My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8i915G Duo and at boot I see the following:
Detecting IDE drives...
IDE Channel 0 Master: WDC WD1200JD-00HBB0
IDE Channel 0 Slave: None
IDE Channel 1 Master: WDC WD1200JB-00GVC0
IDE Channel 1 Slave: None
Scan Devices please wait...
Primary Master: IDE DVD-ROM 16X
Primary Slave: TOSHIBA CD/DVDW
Secondary Master: No Device
Secondary Slave: No Device
Actually, I had a new graphics card installed about four months ago and
that's when I noticed that my two hard drives did not appear as Master-Slave
on the same channel any more but I don't know if this is the problem since
the cd-rom drives are detected later on. Do you think I should change the way
my hard drives and cd-rom drives are connected?
