Answer» k well my hp pavilion recently died (the motherboard at least), so took the hard drive and attached it to ANOTHER computer, a tower computer i got from a friend. Anyways I'd just bought a new samsung cdrw/dvd player, which I had attached to my pavilion. I also transferred this over. I also made the hp hard drive primary master. When I boot up the computer, it detects the cdrw/dvd player as my primary slave as it should, but when windows is loaded, I can't access it nor does it SHOW up as a drive on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. boygenius145........Can you go into the bios and see if it sees the cdrw/dvd drive ? When you istalled the cdrw/dvd drive did you see the message new hardware detected ? Can you change the cd drive to the Secondary master and see if it shows up that way ? dl65 Is the CD-RW/DVD player connected as a slave on the same IDE cable as the HDD is or did you connect it as a Slave to the second IDE channel without a master?You may want to consider this reg patch Read more beforehand>http://aumha.org/regfiles.htm Quote Is the CD-RW/DVD player connected as a slave on the same IDE cable as the HDD is or did you connect it as a Slave to the second IDE channel without a master? I HOOKED the CD-RW/DVD player to the slave on the same IDE cable as well. I set the bios to autodetect them, and it detects the cdrw/dvd player at the boot screen, but once windows loads, its not there. I'll check out that patch and see if it works, ty.
