Cd rom door won't open, and it won't play

I recently put together a custom build system
I have a
Asus mobo P5K3 Deluxe
2 Sata Opticals
2 Sata HDD
I IDE HDD
At first DVD drives were working fine. Then I upgraded to Service Pack 2 and after that the drives stopped working. I bought two new drives and they wouldn't work either. Right now I have 2 Sata DVD drives that the BIOS sees it, Windows XP Pro sees it. I have uninstalled the drives and windows re installs them fine. You see them in My computer. But when you try to open them they wont open and you can't get them to play. Any suggestions?

Reisntall system without service pack 2
Reintall devices not working.

Or uninstall drives reinstall sp2
then reinstall drives

Personally I would leave sp2 uninstalled
but if it is installed prior to the drives it
might recognize them (microsoft likes to be 1st)

Asus P5KPL SE & Sata, Bios "Not Detected Problem"..
The Asus bios won't show SATA devices.
However if you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (or newer operating system then the devices should be detected. If this is not happening then enter the bios -- Storage Configuration -- Configuration Enhanced and set the IDE devices to compatible. This allows all drives to be "seen" and you should then be able to load an OS.

IDE Ports not working on ASUS P5LD2-VM Mobo
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.

Yuck! Soyo filed for bankruptcy in May and their website is gone!
You need to enable the SATA in the rom bios AND install the drivers for it; but, I hope you have the manual and the CD.

Ecs 6100sm-m mobo connections
you have a few options

1) buy a sata harddrive (faster then ide), use the ide for the second harddrive (backup) and cd/dvd rom

2) buy a sata cd/dvd rom use the ide on both harddrives (1 set to slave)

3) depends on your budget, buy a sata drive + sata cd/dvd rom so your main drive is on sata (faster than ide) then you only have your second drive as your backup drive on ide.

i had the same problem when i rebuilt mine, i went for the seperate harddrive and cd/dvd rom and my 320 gb ide as my backup drive

sorry to jump on this post aswell, see what others think

SATA Drivers for Hitachi HDD
Is there a BIOS setting to temporarily put the SATA controller into legacy mode? XP would then think it's an IDE drive. Then, after installing XP, install the drivers from the motherboard CD, then go back into the BIOS and turn off legacy mode.

Maybe a silly question to ask; but did you connect the processor power lead, as unlike some processors this needs a seperate supply.
