Windows Not Seeing CD-ROM
Hi everyone,
Windows is playing silly-buggers with any cd-drives I shove into my pc. I'm setting the jumpers ok & installing the drive as a primary slave disk which the boot process & dos picks up fine.
When windows is loaded though, it doesn't see any drive there?!?!?! I've tried this with a dvd drive which windows picks up without a problem, but for 3 different cd-rom drives now, windows won't see them!
Help please!!!
Have you got a VIA chipset?
Stands a v.good chance you have a device conflict. Try removing your VIA drivers (if you have them) and DON'T upgrade them. The 4in1 drivers are more trouble than it's worth!
Are you re-mastering your BIOS after each device swap? You must refesh your BIOS after every change, unless you have an Auto-Sensing BIOS, which tracks all new devices. Press 'DEL' on cold boot, and reset it back to defaults. Then reboot.
Any futher details, please contact me.
Regards,
Paul.
