    DVD Drive Not Detected


    Greetings,

    I have recently built this rig (specs in drop-down). The DVD drive is a new component too and worked just fine when I installed the OS. Now it is not being detected by the computer.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Does it show up in the Bios WartHog?

    Anthony, Thanks for the quick reply. :) No it was not showing in the BIOS. Right after I posted my dilemma, I remembered on initial startup, it did not detect that drive either. That time I swapped the SATA cable out (it was an older cable, not new). That fixed it that time. However, on re-trying the old cable it worked, so like a Dummy I left it in there. So, I just swapped the cable again and the system is now detecting the drive again.

    I do not want to show this thread "resolved" yet. Let me give it a day and make sure I'm good.

    Thank you again, and I'm sorry I left out some Vital info from my original post.

    Let me show this resolved for now. No sense in wasting anyone's time trying to help me if it's fixed. :)
