First, have you tried using another IDE cable?
I'm not sure of your drive configuration, but is your CD on a
separate IDE controller from your other drives? If so, you should be
able to just plug in the CD and boot from that to verify the logic
board is working. Try it in both of your IDE sockets. If your logic
board has a CUDA switch, it wouldn't hurt to press that to reset the
PRAM between tries.
