Device/Drive not found
We just put in a 1GB memory module into our Dell Dimension 8400 in one of two
open slots. Now our cd/dvd drives are not being recognized. Do we need to buy another GB to make the slots parallel and would that fix the problem or do we need to "re-flash"? I'm not sure how to do that if that is the case. Thank you for any help you may provide! |

You dont need to reflash the bios unless Dell support for your specific Tag
reccommends it They might also mention other critical updates. If you remove the added module is the problem cured, or have you simply displaced some cables? "tinywildflower" wrote in message ...

Thank you for any help you may provide! Crucial.com states in part: "Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules." http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar... Dell&cat=RAM But I doubt that alone would lose the CD/DVD drives. If you didn't pull the ribbon cable loose from the mobo during the RAM install, it would take two "pulls" of the power cords, or ribbon cables at the devices. -- Joe =o) |
