First off I got the the error where it says something isnt hooked up like a ide cable well when I was looking one of my controler ports wire was broken off and I was wonderin if that would make it do that and if i solderd it back if it should boot up again. _________________

It might not fix it but I would just solder the wire together because in the end your going to want to do it anyways. _________________

Just swap the controller ports around(3and4 moved to 1and2) and leave the damaged one which is now 3and4 unplugged and see how it goes. With it being usb, if the port is shorting out, it might be giving an interupt problem. This happens on home pcs when the usb shorts out and the system wont boot. The same chip is used to run the controller ports as well as the hd/dvd rom. Why is the wire broken? This might be a small detail in a bigger problem.
