Problem for ASUS P5LD2-VM Motherboard
IDE Ports not working on ASUS P5LD2-VM Mobo
I have an Asus P5LD2-VM motherboard and the IDE ports aren't working. I have tried to upgrade and downgrade the bios, reset to defaults. Tried different IDE cables and master/slave/CS settings on 1 hard drive and 2 different cdrom's, none will pick up in the bios. The motherboard will detect SATA hard drives and usb devices without issue, and am able to boot from either. Tried different power supplies to ensure that wasn't the issue, and no change. I am out of ideas, what could it be?

- Yeah, I went through the BIOS and attempted every possible combination of IDE/SATA settings but none seem to work. There are no bent pins, and have tested the devices succesfully in another system. Its just weird that both IDE ports (on seperate parts of the motherboard) are not working. Well, I guess the only real solution is to purchase the PCI-IDE card.Nov 13, 2009
- IDE is enabled in the bios, i've tried every combination of settings I can see. The pins on the Hard Drive are fine, and I have tried setting it to Master/Slave and CS to no avail. I have tried different IDE cables (one pulled from a known working machine). I have also tried this with 3 different IDE optical drives, all of which will not pick up on the system. The motherboard has two different IDE slots, one is Blue, the other is Red. I'm unfamiliar with what the Red one is, but tried it anyways and same thing.Solution #1

Good Day sir, hi, Have you tried to enable the IDE on BIOS setup. If the Bios setup did not solve the IDE problem, check the IDE port of the HARD drive, check if there are bent pins.
If still wont work, you can buy a PCI to IDE/SATA card, this is an expansion card in PCI format with IDE and SATA port.We use this card incase the IDE or SATA on the motherboard gets bad. Connect it on the available PCI slot. Then connect the IDE cable of the Hard disk to this card. Thats it.

- Hi, it seem you are really on to the board thing, the red one is used for DMA 100, the Blue one is DMA 133, or vise versa, DMA is the speed in which drives access the memory. The IDE cable has a blue connector and should match the Blue IDE slot, Does your IDE cable has blue connector?, If still not working, I suggest the PCI sata/IDE card.Yes
No
