I had a lightening strike take out my other computer. Everything seems fine, and I have moved over to another box, same specs. Everything, except the cd's , work as advertised. When I plug both the cdrom, and dvd-writer into the ide bus, the computer will not get to the "check memory" check bios phase. Yet when I unplug either the cdrom or the dvd-writer the system boots, and functions as it should. I have both cd devices set to "cable select". I've tried another IDE cable, same result. Any other things I may be missing Thanks -- Rodney D.
