Check all data and power cables to see if they are firmly set in-place.

Try a new cable and try having one drive by connected by itself.

This might be a stupid suggestion but also make sure in your bios that you have your DVD drive before your HDD's as even if you put the book disk in, it will still be trying to access your HDD's first if not correctly set in the boot priority!
If that does not work in bios posting try pressing F8 or F12 (which would be the similar timing to trying to access the mobos bios setup) and this will bring up a system boot display where you can select and force which drive it must boot from first.
As said, try one drive only and try changing the IDE cable.

thanks i got it working was bad cable to the DVD drive.
But i am having another problem now everything works fine but when i try to set up a raid 0 array with my 2 drives windows will not load it just says disk read error push ctrl alt delete to restart but restarting it changes nothing.
so i have to run it with raid disabled for it to work
