I PLugged in a New Maxtor hard drive (ata cables, you know thoes pins and 4 prongs at the end og the drive) And My Compuer can not detected it, And now, it can not detect any CDs inside the CD drives, so I can not reboot my computer using XP CD, I can nto install my new ahrd drive... What do I do?

I tried Connecting the new Drive as a Slave and Master, and also all by itself, Now it is not connected to anything and I Still can't read CDs (all the cables are connected) What do I do?

Check the cables actually.

Which one? The One connecting the Hard Drives to The Computer? (Main, Slave, APA?) The Power Supplies, Ir the Connection Between the CD Rom Drives and the Hard Drives?

Because I allready did.

Any of them actually. Just try replacing the IDE cables themselves and see if it makes a difference. Failing that, it is a possible cooling issue. Maybe, beyond that, your motherboard can't handle it.
