DVD drive loses power as IDE is connected
This is a sort of double post as the issue has changed from a bios/ installation thing to... ehh I don't know.
So I was swapping drives to make sure my drive wasn't shot and I plugged the power into the DVD drive first and it green lighted and started spinning. Then I plugged the IDE cable in and the drive stopped, no lights no spiny spiny. Pulled the IDE cable back out at it fired back up again. I repeated that like a monkey for a few minutes... Anybody know whats going on?
