Drives wont run when plugged into motherboard?

I recently upgraded my motherboard but it only has one IDE port. I bought a pci ide card that has two ports in it. I placed both my hard drives on one cable one set to master and on the end connector and the other set to slave placed on the middle connector. I plugged that one into the motherboard directly. the second channel has a dvd drive and a cd rom again one slave one master etc. this one is plugged into the pci card in the secondary port. none of my drives will run when they are plugged into the board but will run/open and close whe i detach them from the motherboard. I have tried cable select options etc. and switching ports in various combos... any ideas? am i configuring them wrong? should i be using the primary port and the ide port in the motherboard or the primary & secondary ports in the card without using the motherboard port?
