I suspect you just need to re-install the dvd drivers. I would suggest you go to ECS website and pick the correct one for your OS.

Let us know if you need further assistance

Thanks Ken but the DVD 's i have installed are add-ons..I pretty much put this one together myself

Thanks again...i seem to have solved the problem after changing jumpers and straps...

Any ideas why my board won't read 2 HD's though
