Hi everyone,

I just built a new PC with:

Athlon 64 3200+ (venice)
Abit AN8 NF4
512 Mb OCZ high performance RAM dual channel (2x256)
Abit Radeon X300 SE guru
160 Gb western digital 7200 rpm SATA HDD
Liteon DVD 16x recorder
ASUS chasis

After assembling everything I installed windows 2000 professional from the DVD-drive (I used the SATA drivers supplied in a diskette to instal directly to the SATA drive).

After w2000 started for the first time I changed the cd to install drivers for the NF4 chipset and rebooted...

The DVD drive stoped reading anything from then on. What's worst it doesn't work on other PC I test it on.

Changed the drive at the store (after all this things do fail), I brought home a LG DVD recorder this time (I already have one identical working in my other PC).

Installed it... nothing, same problem. The tray opens, the lights go on and off, but the discs can't be read.

Tried the drive on my other PC... not working either.

What's wrong, is my mobo/chasis killing cd/dvd drives?

I should say the rest of the PC is working pretty well....

anybody heard of something like this before?

Any help would be welcomed...

Ricardo.
