1.	Solve : Dvd Drive not recognised?
Answer» My DVD drive is not being recognised by my computer. I deleted the upper and lower registry and it still does not work. It was working before and then I had to use system restore and since then the DVD does not work. The drives have power. The BIOS is on auto. When compter boots Secondary Master and Slave say none. Any suggestions? Thanks.If the BIOS does not see it then check tour cable connections... Otherwise the drive is probably dead.I should also mention that my CD player is also not being recognised.If they were on the same IDE cable that would confirm EITHER an unhooked/bad cable or yout secondary IDE channel on the MBoard is bad, Replace the cable What happened prior to this ? ?What happened was that I unselected all my startup programs and services in msconfig. After I did this both the CD and DVD drives were not being detected by my computer. I tried to use system restore but it did not work.I should also add that I reselcted all my startup programs and services, and still does not work.Quote from: vignatius on January 10, 2009, 01:14:35 PM What happened was that I unselected all my startup programs and services in msconfig.

Jumper it as master and hook it up to the end connector on the ribbon cable... Re-boot a few times and see if it's recognised in the BIOS. If not try the drive on another machine. Did you check the ribbon cable connection at the motherboard ? ?
