When the computer starts up, does it list it along with your Hard Drive etc?

Have you set the jumper on the back of DVD Drive?

Yea, jumper settings. Is it the only drive connected to that cable, or is there another drive on the same IDE channel?

The message that says "Press F2 for Setup," or whatever.

If you don't get a prompt saying that, then try pressing F2 or DEL while it's posting the hardware. You might even try F10 or F12 if those don't work.

Then you probably need to set the jumper on the back of the DVD drive to be Slave. It should have a diagram on the drive showing where the jumper should be.

Although personally, I would probably set the DVD drive as Master, and set your CD drive as Slave.

ok went to bios made it primary

checked jumpers on cdrom and dvd...but i'm not sure how to manke primary/secondary with jumper

may have a possible conflict with daemon tools virtual drive assignments too

what make is each drive?

you can look up the correct jumper settings on the manufacturers website.

Post by **R00k** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 6:06 pm

Is there no diagram on the drives? Or have you just not changed jumper settings before?

No reason to be condescending. Some people haven't done it a hundred times, or even once.

also, nero(new version of course) sees it as a virtual drive i can't select a dvd recorder..because it doesn't show up in list

Try uninstalling demon tools completely, rebooting a couple of times, then plugging the drive in.

If it doesn't recognise it then, carry on looking for a solution but don't reinstall demon tools until it's working..

I think it's making things more complex for you.

yeah...daemon tools left some shit behind after uninstalling that gave me some problems

i fucked with jumpers again and it's recognized now

jesus christ 3.5 hours later
