Try booting some kind of "live-cd distribution" (e.g. Knoppix, Mepis, SuSE Eval) rather than hacking the hardware; it could save you some effort.
Good idea! Should've thought of it myself... I have one around from a magazine
Oh, I forgot, you haven't got a CD-writer :-/
I'm in the office, there are plenty :-)
Thanks for all the suggestion! Ok, now I've done it. Knoppix can see the drives just fine and anything that is in it. I did not try to burn anything on my DVD-Recorder, but this seems not to be the main problem as I can not list the contents of anything that I insert. So the drives do work ok. And as I said in an earlier post during SUSE bootup (I've done that sever times now) they look fine. To Carlos E. R.: I have two HDs on one controller and the two DVDs on the other, so I will try to replug them. But mind you, the computer was working like this since approx. May 2004! So I don't think it's what's happened, but I'll try it anyway. So, where should I look next? Kostas
