So I bought a ssd for my os yesterday.. I put in the install disk.. could not read disk error. I ended up making a bootable USB stick n put the disk on there using a different computer. I have checked the IDE connectionsat the drive and motherboard, no debris in the drives searched for a few hours about this with no results. Could it be possible my motherboards IDE port went out? Device manager picks up that they are on my computer. I just find it odd that 2 drives would fail at the exact same time. any advice is appreciated.

It could be your Motherboard.

It could also be driver related, or Bios version.
