Havin DVD and CD-RW problems

« on: December 14, 2004, 10:14:14 PM »

Okay I installed a new harddrive in my puter tonight and the CD and DVD burners would only open up while the puter was bootin up but now the lights on them won't come on and neither of them will open. I have the jumpers set right and I switched them just to see and still nothin. Any Ideas?? The DVD burner is just now a month old, and the CD burner is approx: 1 -11/2 Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Checked the power cables or the BIOS yet? If they're not there in the BIOS (or detected after BIOS) then I'd say they're either malfunctioning or missing power.

Moving this to the proper Help! forum btw.

Move jumpers to cable select.. put the optical drives on their own channel and the hard drive on the other.. put the hard drive on master.. try that..

After I unplugged and replugged it made me feel like a real dumbnut, but since that fixed it I happy for that. Although I knew if anyone would know you guys would. Also Thanks for the quick response. Now I know why I really like this Site/Forum and I have been trying to help ya'll spread the word that this site is here. Again Thanks a lot !! Very Happy

Just glad that this is all a moderator has to do on testmy.net. You guys rule too.
