Check the cables for both the floppy and CDRom drives. Ensure that they are plugged in correctly and securely . . . there is a red stripe on the cable for the CDRom drive, which should be closest to the power plug and just the opposite for the floppy. Also, the floppy cable has one end where part of the cable is twisted - that end plugs into the floppy. Check to make sure your motherboard connections are also secure and plugged in correctly (the red stripe on the IDE cables should be at the #1 pin position for both drives). If your motherboard doesn't clearly indicate pin positions or have notched connectors - grab a users manual for the motherboard or look for lines where the connectors are . . . pin #1 is usually indicated by a thicker line at one end of the connector. Unless you have a very very old board or are using a really 'off' brand of drive . . . you shouldn't have to install drivers for either or 'install' them with 'Add New Hardware'. As long as you didn't change jumpers on either drive or a bios setting pertaining to them (and they were both working properly before you took everything apart) checking your cables should get them both back up and running. If not, let me know. Good luck.
