Hey,

ive just built a new pc:
Asus P5E
Core 2 duo e8400
Club3d 4870
a lite on dvd writer
2x 320 gb (raid)

But now, ive installed everything, but it doenst read my dvd writer, so i cant install windows!
i have a IDE writer, so ive put the blue end on my motherboard, and my black end in my dvd writer..

but if i do f8 at startup he sees raid0 and floppy drive thats all, so i cant select the dvd writer! :(

Any one have an idea?

Did you set the jumper on the back of the DVD writer? Try movong the jumper to cable select.

Is it the only IDE on that chain? like the precious poster said, make sure it is jumpered properly.

Also, make sure the power and ide cables are plugged in correctly and that you have no bent pins on the motherboard/IDE drive.

Check that IDE detection is on auto for all IDe devices on your BIOS

Failing that, you may just have a defective drive.
