If it does, then windows will install it automatically. If it doesn't, then either you need to go into your bios and make sure it is set to auto detect, in Secondry master, or secondry slave, depending how you have set it up. If you still can't detect it, lift the bonnet, and check cables are on secure. If they are, and it is still not detected, it might have died. If you have been mucking around in the bios, in the past, there are some other things that you could have done wrong, so come back if you need more help.	Guest (0)
