Then on boot leap into the bios and insrtuct it to auto-detect drives. As for getting it installed, I would expect to pay about 20, though you maybe up for more if they have to do it twice (because of defective drive) or repair/reconfigure your comp to accept it. At the very least they will be able to tell you whether the drive is defective in short order. |

| 374859 | 2005-07-24 23:27:00 | Yes I have checked and all cables are correctly installed . Now when I boot my comp up, its says "secondary drive not found" I hope I aint stuffed my computer :confused: I'm just wondering if I should take my comp into a shop to get the DVD drive installed, and wondering if anyone knows how much this will cost?? Or if anyone else has any suggestions? Speedy I had a wee look at that website, but I'm apprehensive about playing with files from the Registry . Cheers Get this then . org/downloads/cdgone . zip" target="_blank">aumha . org from here . org/regfiles . htm" target="_blank">aumha . org It'll do the same thing . Its a reg file . Just double click on cdgone . reg . And it'll put it in the registry . Then reboot . |

| 374861 | 2005-07-25 04:28:00 | Have recently installed this drive on same setup, it came with a DSE Internal DVD Combo Drive CD XH6850, suggest get manual from CD, may not worry you but drive needs 100MB HDD free space. I installed as Secondary IDE Master, jumper set accordingly, ensuring all 3 cables pushed hard in squarely. I had to extend the power supply cable and initially the IDE connector was difficult to get fully into the CD drive. I checked the IDE cable was fully home onto the M/B. A minor point but presume you used screws supplied and not those from previous installation. Some drives object to having over long screws. Suggest instal only one drive initially. | FrankS (257) | ||

| 374863 | 2005-07-25 10:50:00 | I had the same problem... i tryed all the same things but i had windows 98 and it was a cd rw drive ... and the problem was that the drive faulty so take it back to the place that sold it to u and get them to check it out :thumbs: | justame (8525) | ||
| 374864 | 2005-07-25 10:53:00 | Normally its due to the comp identifying the drive incorectly and trying to load on the wrong driver,removing the driver doesn't fix it as the identification hasn't changed and it reloads the bad driver again. So it was most probally a case of deleting a registry entry which would force the process to start from point A. |
