i just got a new motherboard and new components for it, except for my disk drives (which always worked before). everything is physically installed. when i turn on the power, everything seems fine, my fans spin, lights go on, everything on the inside seems to work, except for my disk drives. my screen remains blank, i dont hear any disks spinning, nothing. everything seems properly connected. my windows xp will not boot with it either. my cd drive doesnt turn on, my hard drive, and i dont think my floppy either. someone help me please

Onboard graphics or aftermarket card? If you get absoultely nothing, as not even going into the POST then it seems it would be graphics related, assuming you are getting power which it sounds to be true.
If it is an aftermarket card the graphics should still default to VGA even with the jumpers set wrong and no drivers loaded.

Ya got all the power connections plugged in to the devices? If so, check to make sure they're secure. Otherwise you may have something plugged in wrong. Or, as previously stated, possibly bad mobo or jumper settings are wrong.
