Solve : adding a cd drive? |
|
Answer» hi i put in another cd-rw DRIVE from a different computer the ide cord properly connected and it dosent show up in my computer and so i SWITCHED the two ide cords and it STILL shows the original one. the power is working i can eject the tray. i went into bios to set it into the start up but it only will do auto is there something im MISSING. thanksdoes it show up in the BIOS?I'm far from an expert, but maybe the problem is the jumper settings are not right on the new drive. I think you need to have the new one set up as a slave. Pull out the new device, look for a sticker and a series of pins with (hopefully) a plastic thingo. The plastic thingo needs to go into place according to how the sticker says designates a slave. Then try again. (I hope that is clear ENOUGH and not dangerous, no doubt someone else will explain it better if it is the problem). but maybe the problem is the jumper settings are not right on the new drive. I second that. Also make sure the BIOS is set to auto detection. |
