I installed a CD-RW drive in my computer but it doesn work right, whats wrong?
Assuming it has power and the drawer opens, the ribbon cable is hooked up, the system setup program settings are correct, and the drive is recognized in Windows, right-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop. Left-click on Properties, then click on the Device Manager tab. Find the CDROM icon and click on the plus sign. There should be two CD-ROM drives listed (if you installed the drive as a second drive, otherwise there will only be a listing for the new drive). Click on the re-writeable drive and then click on Properties. Try unchecking the DMA setting, click OK, and close out everything then restart the computer and try it again. For Windows XP users, go to Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management. This is where the settings can be checked and changed. It’s a little more involved, and you may want to have a consultant help with this one.
