Do you have PNP OS enabled in BIOS? Try toggling that option :)

That was from his sig. And it says for "first build" we don't know if this is the same computer or not. Reason I ask is because sometimes Win98/2000 will only find the drive as a CD-ROM not a DVD.

yes it came back after a restart

PNP OS in BIOS? hmm...what's that? haha...i'll have to go mess around bios more

i also had it as a slave but now i have it as master it's fine...but will the same thing happen when i move it back to slave cause i have a cd-rw coming in and i want that as the master

PNP OS is Plug and Play Operating System.
