Win XP and CD Player

S

skip

Hi,
I have a PC that is really running me around. The computer can see
the CD player and when trying to open or look into the CD, you can see
the CD player read light flickering. The problem is that it does not
show up when you say to open the CD or does not do an autorun. I have
gone to the system events and it say the error is a bad cable. I have
swapped out 2 40 pin cables and still have the same problem. I have
the CD player as both, the master and the slave with the same results.
If I put the Harddrive, or the LS120 or the zip into the system with
the same cable that I used with the CD player, they worked fine. I
actually even changed out the CD player with a new one with the same
results.
Anyone have any other ideas. I can't believe it would be the mother
board or the IDE controllers since the other items worked ok.
Thanks for any help.

Check for a bent pin on both connecters of the IDE cable. Also make sure you
have the latest drivers for the CD drive.
