    Looking at the situation I wanted to tell you that you should simply disable XHD. There is no need to enabling the same. also you will not be able to solve the issue then there would be kind of incompatibility happening but you have to disable XHD.

    After going through the problem of yours I am suspecting there is a compatibility issue. it did not seems to doing well with CD drives as they are not developed for the hard drive. there could be an issue with the jumper settings itself. You should take care of the thing that is place the hard drive as master on end of the cable and simply set the jumper to Master or you can try with CS. Sometimes CS might not work for you. after that place the CD at the middle of cable and you have to set the jumper to either to slave or CS.

    In many situation mixing of CD and hard drives on same cable on the older IDE based motherboard can cause the issue. so I am concluding that it will not work until and unless you are supposed to try the same. the best solution which I recommend that you should update SATA and there will not be any need to use the old IDE on your motherboard.

    Well I am not taking about the IDE mode rather I am saying IDE as you have connected with the IDE based controller. you are connecting the device through the IDE Ribbon cable. The entire issue seems to be applicable to IDE cables and jumpers as well. If you are not able to make the thing working for you than I recommend to contact the technical support team and see whether they are able to resolve the issue.
