I got a n new DVD writer this morning. its running
perfect and installed like a charm.
My problem now though is, my computer doesn't recognise
my old drive, why?!
My old drive is connected with the power cable (the
usually white plastic holding red, yellow and black
cables) and also the ribbon connecter too. (the same
ribbon cable as my new drive. but obviously a different
port along it.)
So they are both connected the same, and the drive
physically works. I can open it, and it whirrs when discs
are in in, but no recognition from windows. Have tried
add new hardware etc but no joy.
Any advice? Feel free to email me at bravobro@msn.com
