Secondary IDE channel is not working correctly?

My secondary IDE is not showing my DVD burner or my CD ROM. Hardware manager can see it but it has a yellow Exlamation point on it.

Whazzzup withat??

Is it possible that it is the actual ide male on the motherboard? I tried switching the ide cable but it is just the same.

Booo!

Please help. I know nothing about mommy boards.

It's because your lower and/or upper filters are corrupt. Do a Google search for a tutorial on how to edit the registry. I won't type it out here because I don't want to be responsible if you mess something up.

Anyways, delete those filters, reboot, let Windows reinstall the drivers and you'll be fine.
