DVD drive gone

OK took out the TV card and put it in the other PCI slot.

Put back my modem in the PCI slot from which it had come and which the TV card have been in.

Turned on PC.

Boots up fine but nothing looking for new hardware.

When I run the add hardware wizard XP doesn't find anything.

So now it can't see my TV card and it can't find the modem.

I am really stucj as what to do. I am verging on the paranoid that I have pushed too hard and buggered my board up and stuff which I hope I haven't.

All because a driver install was faulty. Going to phone Avermedia tomorrow to see what is wrong. Will leave PC as is for now but if anyone has any utils for finding lost hard ware or checking that ones mobo is in one peice then please let me know as I am almost in tears here. Feel like I really ****ed up.

This isn't the first time I have installed equipment in a PC...

Please help.
