I have a new computer (I am pretty much a comp novice by the way) and have an LG CD 52X player - Drive E: - and also an LG CD writer Drive F: (imported from my old computer). When I start the machine up and go to 'My Computer' I see both CD players as being recognised. Then after performing some operations or viewing some digital photo's in 'My prictures' and try and search a photo CD in the CD Player (E:) that drive is is missing - and I can't find it. To get it back I have to re-start. Also after having written some photos to a CDR disc, I can later view them in either CD. If I then write some more photos to the same CD in a later session, I can view them in the CD Writer(F:) but not in the CD player (E:). Any suggestions? Pse As I said above I am pretty much a novice and need a 'press button B' approach! Thanks!!	baycam (3377)

If you have the wrong setting then odd things like this can occur. You must not have 2 Masters per port, or 2 Slaves per port. Each port must have 1 Master and 1 Slave, unless its using the special Cable Select ribbon cables, in which case they are set to CS. Your HDD will probably be Master, IDE port 0 What IDE ports are the others on, and what are the settings? If 2 drives share a ribbon cable, they are on the same port.	godfather (25)
