Are the Parallel/Serial ports enabled in your computer's BIOS ?
Some newer motherboards do not provide legacy ports anymore.
It's possible if this is a new computer that the ports don't exist.
Recent motherboards also now support only a single PATA
connector ( For Optical drives that aren't SATA based ).
