Solve : Installation New IDE cd/dvd?

1.	Solve : Installation New IDE cd/dvd?
Answer» My 2 brand new cd/dvd drives are not working . I installed them with the ide cord and power . I turned on the computer and saw them as the boot page flashed by . They will not WORK . The hardware checker says that the configuration is wrong or bad . I didn't do anything except install them ...there is no software and if there was ...i can't load it on the drives .. What is wrong ? Bobby Well, first of all...new drives need drivers. Go to the MANUFACTURER's site and download the appropriate drivers. Make sure you get the ones made for your OS. Which OS do you have, by the way?Check how they are jumpered on the back of each drive. The one at the end of the IDE ribbon cable should be Master or Master W/ Slave and the one on the MIDDLE CONNECTOR should be slave. You did remove all power when you installed them correct ? ? And as CBMatt asked what OS are you running ? ? They might not need drivers.
