I am working on building my own computer and for some reason when i connect only the power to the CD-ROM drive it will open and lights come on, however as soon as i attach the tape wires to it, it doesnt work anymore. Neither my HD or my CD-ROM are recognized in BIOS. There are jumpers on the back of the CD-ROM and im wondering if that has anything to do with it. I also have heard of compatibility issues with hardware so could that be possible? It is an Asus CD-ROM with a Samsung 120gb HD. Replies will be greatly appreciated!
