| 56728 | 2002-06-23 08:26:00 | I have been playing around with my dual boot xp and 98 system, as well a presumably faulty HD from a friend. I now have no cd drives - xp or 98. How do I get it back? | wotz (335) | ||

| 56730 | 2002-06-24 07:58:00 | Have you checked that the power and data cables are plugged in firmly? Sometimes they can come loose if you're prying around inside the computer. Make sure to check the motherboard end of the data cable, as it's sometimes difficult to see if this has come loose. Did you remove the data cable from the CD-ROM? If so, make sure it's plugged in the right way around (typically red stripe towards the power cable). Are you still checking out your friend's drive? If you are, and it's plugged into the same data cable as the CD-ROM, make sure that you've got the master/slave settings correct on the drives. It's quite possible that they're both set to master. |
