OK, turn OFF desktop computer, disconnect data & power cables from DVD drive. Turn ON computer, power all the way up to your windows desktop. Then shut down computer to OFF. Re-connect Data & Power cables to DVD drive. Now turn ON computer again, be connected to the internet. Let windows possibly re-install DVD drive.
well i can hold down the windows boutton and press pause?
is that good?
Here is how i got it plugged in. Is it right? am i missing some cabels? telle me! :)
Yes that looks correct for an IDE DVD drive. There is also a small jumper in the 6 pin area.
Ma = Master (primary) optical drive
SL = Slave (Secondary) optical drive
CS or DS = Cable select ( selected by connector position on flat ide cable)
so you mean i should connect the small jumper in the 6 pin area?
It should have a jumper in one of the 3 positions.
check this info

ehm, i dont see how it will help? i mean. Isn't this just how it should look like?
1 - IDE ribbon cable and connection
2 - power cable connection
The little plastic jumper needs to be in at least one of the 3 positions. Best choice is probably SL = slave . Do you have any other IDE optical or Hard Drives connected to this computer ?
