New PC problems

[chik]

Hello.

I recently rebuilt my computer with new components. I kept my old CD/DVD player however which happens to be a IDE device.
My problem is that the new MB does not have a IDE connector so I purchased a new converter so that I can connect to a SATA port. The player is seen in explorer but is shows as a BD Rom Drive. Does anyone know how I may be able to remedy my situation short of buying a new player?

Thanks very much for looking into this for me..................................chik

does the drive play cd/dvd?

you can get a new SATA drive (they are only about $30)

try reinstalling the drivers for the cd/dvd player and see if that helps
