Well, the IDE controller may not respond if it's been configured incorrectly or is running up against some adversity from the CDROM and isn't able to function. Have you tried connecting a hard disk to this machine using a known good cable? Have you checked in Windows and made sure it hasn't tried to change the resource settings? > Today I asked my vendor what type of the motherbord is in the PC. It is > Intel Rosewood RC440 SX. This is super-duper new, if I remember my Intel roadmap properly. I certainly hope that Intel hasn't done something silly with the IDE controller.
