Last night I was trying to get Wavelab to recognize my dvd burner so I was playing around with the jumpers on the back of my two drives, one - cdr, one dvdr. After the first attempt didn't work, I opened up the box without turning it off, which I know wasn't the brightest thing to do. However, I figured if I just unplugged the power cable from the drives, I'd be fine. Long story short, I switched the jumpers on the back and plugged the master drive (dvdr) back in with no problem. I attempted to plug the slave drive in but plugged the cable in upside down. The result was a small spark and the computer went into protect mode of some sort. I powered down, then rebooted and got a system prompt saying that it didn't detect drive 0 or drive 1 (or something of that nature) and to press F1 to continue. Windose booted up and all seemed fine... but when I checked to see if the drives were recognized, nothing showed up. I then did a system restore to earlier in the day and got the same prompt before XP ran its course. Then I went to bed...
Also, the dvdr drive still has power as it would eject the tray when the open/close button is pushed. I didn't check the slave drive though.
Help!?!
