Im sorry none of these methods aren't working, i just don't know what to do. if there is a number i could call u at that would help. Please try to contact me after 4. It would be easier to find a solution by phone.
You CD drives are the PATA 0 and 1. The others are the SATA drives, of which there are none other than your hard drive. So, now that PATA is ON and errors are
gone, what shows in the Device Manager under DVD/CD-ROM drives?
No the pata drivers are turned off because when i turned them on it said drivers 3 and drivers 4 not found. so i turned them off to get rid of that error message. Both pata drivers are off

PATA are your CD drives. They need to be ON.
SATA 3 & 4 are spare and should be OFF.

I do not use the telephone for this purpose and I highly recommend you remove you telephone number. Never place private information in a public place.
With the drives turned ON in the BIOS, what is in the Device Manager?

not found by Windows.
We have reinstalled the IDE channel, Turned the drives on in the BIOS, and
cleared the NVRAM. Also checked the connections to the drives.
So, the only questions I have are ..........
- Did the drives come installed with the computer?
- Are the drives jumperd Cable Select? If they came installed, they are.
- When you checked the connections, did you trace the IDE cable to the motherboard
and check that connection also?
