| 353930 | 2005-05-10 09:32:00 | Hi, I have replaced the CD-ROM drive with a BTC CD-RW unit, but windows 98 doesn't recognise it at all not even in "Add new hardware" My Computer only shows A and C drives. Can anybody help please? |

| 353934 | 2005-05-11 04:12:00 | Presume you used the screws supplied with the new CD-RW, screws that are too long can stuff things up. Check the Power supply is pushed fully in.Check the Secondary IDE cable is pushed fully into the Motherboard, sometimes they cock slightly during the installation. | FrankS (257) | ||
