Problems with CD-ROM's, possible secondary IDE error

Hi, I have an Asus CUSL2-C and everything was running fine until recently. I'm not sure if flashing the CD-ROMs has caused the problems, but I didn't have any until I tried to run Nero, and burn a CD. Before this I was able to play audio CDs and extract data and do installs. Now I'm having
problems running certain programs.

I have a Kenwood 72X and a TDK VeloCD.

I tried disconnecting the TDK from the ide bus, was still having problems. So I connected the TDK and disconnected the Kenwood and my HARD DRIVE which is on the other IDE channel would not detect. Now it doesn't matter which of the two I connect I can't even get my hard drive recognized.

Is it possible I have a faulty secondary IDE channel which is also causing conflicts to where my primary IDE channel will not work? When I just have the hard drive connected I have no problems. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Have you got the Intel ATA Storage Drivers installed?

Sometimes they tend to cause problems with IDE CDRWs.....I used to get buffer under-runs all the time on mine. I managed to fix the problem by going into the Storage Companion and limiting the maximum transfer rate on my Yamaha 4416E to PIO mode 4.
 
Andy, that's all good and fine but I can't even get my hard drive to be a recognized device with those other CD-ROM's plugged in now. I do have those drivers loaded though yes.
