When we put a cd into the drive it starts up but doesn't read the cd. When we go to install new hardware it says that there is no cd rom installed! Also in my computer the c drive icon has a telephone included and when we click to open the file it comes up with a blank screen that says up the top cd installer. Help! Rachel	Guest (0)

The drive is now there and working fine. To answer your questions - i would still like to know what happened - We are running win 98 , it was win 95 before we had the work done. The drives were partitioned to begin with before we put the new drive in. what is master/slave jumpers? thanks rachel	Guest (0)
