OK. Thanks everybody, but I have an intermittent disappearing CD-ROM
problem.

I have HD in SATA 0. And currently I have CD-ROM in first IDE Master.
However, every once in a while i cant see the CD-ROM at all. Power is
there (it can open and close) but I dont see it in the OS. In the
BIOS, everything is set to AUTO Detect.

I've swapped CD-ROMS with a known CDROM and to problem still occurs.

I wonder if I should attempt to move CD-ROM to second IDE Master as
john mentions. I also hope I didn't fizzle my MB. I dont have the
actual MB type with me, but its an ASUS.

Anyhow, thanks for the help. I've set up a few systems before, but
this one has been a problem. Any clues?

Have you tried replacing the cable? If that doesn't work, try another Molex (power) connector from the PSU.
