Worked before what? Could be the cable is malfunctioning, or one of the drive controllers on the drive or motherboard is playing up. Can you pin down anything that happened between it working and not working, in terms of hardware or software?

Clarify 'not working'. Does the BIOS pick them up, does one of them show or none of them? Does it disappear in windows only?

it wont run on that hardrive of the same IDE cable. I tried using my SATA hardrive and it worked fine.

well thanks anyway...
