I posted on this topic a while back and got a couple replies and tried them all but they unfortunatley didn't solve my problem:
I want to add a cd burner to my current system. I set my first drive to master and the burner as slave (later tried jumperless but still didnt work), hooked up the cables (power/data) seated the drive in the right place in my case and powered on the computer. The thing is that windows doesn't say 'new hardware recognized' like it should. I tried the 'install new hardware' thing under systemtools als to no avail.
I know the particular one i'm trying to install is supported by Win XP and the cables and everything are connected properly but for some reason the burner isn't being recognized.
Is there something im missing? Something i have to change manually in my bios or something?
Any help would be greatly apprecieated!!
