I'll see if thats the problem.

Only thing is, I don't have a suitable power supply to power a CDROM drive.

Maybe take the feed from a spare PC ? Most of us have a few of those things hanging around  :-o It would be good enough for testing anyway :pint:

I could do that actually. I should have an IDE cable long enough.

Only problems is both my PCs are Dells, and therefore have non standard ATX pinouts, therefore it isn't really possible to use just the Power supply.
