    Cd drive suddenly not working

    My mobo is the abit ip35 pro, I used my cd drive for many years and its never had a problem but suddenly it doesnt even show up as installed.  The tray has power, i plugged and unplugged everything, i tried a new cd drive that works and it still doesnt register on the system, i have the latest bios also on the mobo.  You guys think that its a mobo issue? I've also tried different plugs.

    I have to laugh when I hear some people say they have no Faith. They have Faith. Heck every time they sit-down they have Faith their chair won't break under them, right ?

    Yeah the upper and lower filters like to cause problems on XP machines. Were you able to get the drive to show up after following Tallons suggestions?

    wow its been awhile sorry about dropping off the face of the earth, It looks like the cd drives just crapped out on vista, bought a new drive and installed via sata instead of IDE and it worked fine.
