When you put the new drive in did you set the jumper right? What does it call the drive in My Computer or Device Manager
calls it drive I
calls it drive I.....to solve this problem i think i need to reinstall windos
Have you tried it with both CD-Rs and DVD-Rs? Do neither one work? Before wasting your time with the cables see if it's both that are causing the problem.
well its mostly cd-r's and the dvd-r's are random
This reminds me of a computer I fixed about 7 years ago. For all appearances the CD drive was dead. It wouldn't do anything. The guy brought it in for me to replace it.
To make a long story short it turned out to be the operating system that was faulty. Try uninstalling the device from the Device Manager, reinstalling it and updating the drivers. It sounds far fetched, I know, but you never know.
