Need advise on upgrading IDE DRIVES
I have two IDE Drives for creating CD RW's, and READ DVD
ROMS. DETAILS OF THESE ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1/ HL-DT-ST CD RW/DVD ROM DRIVES (GCE-8400B). 2/ SAMSUNG DVD - ROM DRIVES. (ID:SD-616T-F308). When I place a DVD-R or DVD - RW in any of the above drives. I get an error message W.R.T to IDE Drive No DVD Present. In other words my Drives cany recognise CD RW, & NOT DVD-R/RW 's. This is a bad news since I wanted to create DVD Copies and very fustrated. Please help me with your suggestions, and kind heartedness. Yours SM |

Need advise on upgrading IDE DRIVES
You didn't give enough information. Did you just install one of them? If so
you need to set the jumpers correctly on your cd drives. Most of the time, one master and one slave. Sometimes "cable select" is used (CS). If not then are they both recognized in the BIOS setup?

You've got one that's a CD writer and will also read DVDs, and you've got a second DVD reader. |
