My laptop has a dvd but no cd-r. I have an external Freecom cd-r with a firewire port on the m'board so i thought i'd just plug it in and set it up.
Only problem being that no way can i get the laptop to recognize its exitence. Tried everything. Add/remove hardware gets me no where, tried a firewire pccard to no avail, loaded the s'ware first no go etc.
I've got w98/w2000/XP installed and none of them see it or can load. I mainly use w2000(service pack 3).
The laptop is a clone(i think) with an SIS 650 chipset,celeron 2ghz cpu and 30gb h'drive.
Also tried removing the DVD from a different h'ware profile.
Any help will be massively appreciated.
