Default 7N400Pro2 Problems with IDE

The other day when I rebooted my computer it did not reboot, No fans no
lights or anything. I replaced the power supply and now the fans spin
but thats about it. At first I could not even get into the bios but
after I disconnected all my optical drives I was able to get into the
bios. Now I reinstalled my main hard drive and 1 cd rom on the main ide
channel{1} with the jumpers set correctly and they are seen in the bios
but they do not show up anywhere else so the computer will not boot from
the hard drive or with a bootable windows 2000pro installation cd. The
funny thing is when I attempt to put optical drives on ide 2 I can't
even get into the bios screen again,it stops right after the memory test
completes. Did I kill the onboard ide controller when my power supply
puked or could it be something else?
Thanks in advance. Phil

Something went bad..

I assume you unplugged the box ( thus killing the standby voltage) and
cleared the BIOS. If it is a rev1 board you have to remove the battery. In
the case of Rev2 you use the BIOS Clr jumper.

It the BIOS does not find the operating system, it tells you that fact.
Could be a bad board. I had one.
