1.	Solve : Why my hard drive and Cd drive will not have power ONLY when IDE cord is connect?
Answer» Why is my HARD drive an cd drive not getting power when I have the IDE cords in them....when I unplug those and leave the power in it...it will have power....but when IDE AND Power is in them...nothing happens, no power.....WHATS going on here?Need FULL specs of hardware including the make and model number of everything including: motherboard, hard drive, CD drive, power supply, all ATTACHED equipment, ETC. etc. etc.... you can never give too much information. Something small and seemingly unimportant could be the source of a problem, so knock yourself out and just give every bit of info you can. Sounds like a short, but before jumping to conclusions and making any suggestions to fix it, best to know what you're working with here.Did you force those IDE cables in ? ? Upside down perhaps ? Check for bent pins on the drives and replace the cables with new ones...
