| 374848 | 2005-07-24 10:07:00 | Hey all. I have bought a "Liteon DVD+R 16X DVD Drive" and for some reason it aint working. My computer wont even recognise it nor my old CD drive. I have tried everything I can, rearranging the "master" & "slave", but it still wont work. I have Windows XP, and "troubleshoot" cant even come up with anything. It comes up with (Code 41) or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers |

| 374851 | 2005-07-24 10:45:00 | Is something like CD Creator installed?? If so, what version? Try deleting both cds in device manager and reboot. |

| 374852 | 2005-07-24 11:32:00 | hey there Speedy Gonzales . No "CD Creator" is not installed on my computer . Bummed out, as I just got this DVD drive . |

| 374853 | 2005-07-24 11:37:00 | Um.. just double checking... you did plug the power into them both. Even techs have been known to miss the most obvious |

| 374854 | 2005-07-24 11:41:00 | lol Yeh I have plugged both the power thingees. I can open the drives, but my computer is not showing up with the drives and when I go to device manager all I get is: Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41). |

| 374855 | 2005-07-24 11:41:00 | Even tho it says this is if CD Creator is installed, this may fix it support.microsoft.com |

| 374856 | 2005-07-24 12:28:00 | Just checking too the cables are inserted correctly into the drive right? (the red line on the IDE cable is next to the power plug) on the back of the Drive? | cajetan (8513) | ||
| 374857 | 2005-07-24 13:37:00 | 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 |
