I just put my new motherboard in my computer. i hooked up everything as normal from the old one. i put the blue IDE ribbon that runs the cd drives into the IDE1 primary slot colored blue. I put the black IDE ribbon into the IDE2 secondary slot. i booted up the computer and it started well. it went into the bios part recognized everything except the media failed. it detected the disk drive and cd drives but not the hard drives. it got to the point where it would load windows and restarted itself and did this over and over. i believe due to the fact it doesnt see the hard drives there. i reset the cable and still nothing. any idea? im looking to buy a new cable but i doubt it will work.

Are your hard drives SATA drives? If not, it would appear you have all connected wrong.

The way he described it, it looks like his hard drive(s) is/are, unless he has SATA drives.

it doesnt matter what the sequence is. i plug the ide cable in the mobo and it doesnt recognize any of the hard drives.
what does the cable select option do.
i just moved it from one mobo to the other. it should read onthe new one like it did on the old one.

It uses the cable connection order in order to set Master and Slave... Your standard cable has 3 connectors, one goes to your mobo and the other two are your drive connnections. The one all the way at the other end is the Master one and the other is the Slave one... If you have the wrong jumper setting on the drive and cable, its not going to work properly. I always use cable select for that reason as it takes all the 'guess work' out of it...
Try it. See if it works.

you probably need to reinstall windows, since you changed motherboards.
ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure
got a whole lot more to list . . .

cee43ja1 is right... When yoy installed the new mobo, it changes the drivers windows installs so it can boot correctly. The drivers are not PnP and are done upon installation. So your only true option is a reinstall...
