[Shellybobs33]

Hiya
I bought a dvd rewriter, so i took out the dvd drive i had and simply connected the dvd rewriter
Now when I click on my computer both are gone

I have gone into bios and the cd rw is there but it is not showing up anywhere on the computer??

Everythgn is connected properly, I got no driver software with the dvd rewriter as I bought it off ebay

What have i done wrong?

Cheers
Shell

Refer to my reply in This Thread

In the image that is shown, the jumper is on the Slave position, if you need to set one as a Master, it is the next set of connectors to the left of the Slave position.

A+

It should read CD's OK, for DVD read/write you have to have software for the unit. Go to the mfg site, and download the software and drivers for your burner.
