 Please don't think I am saying your stupid, but I have done this one before  Other than that, it is possible that the drive went bad.  | |||||||||||||||

 | Re: DVD Drive wont post Is your DVD drive showing up at all i.e. d: drive? If not you may have to do a registry hack to make it show up again. I had a drive disappear on me when I uninstalled a program. Other than that I would say, your drve is screwed. -1 I would rather read a NewEgg review than a [H] review  | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: DVD Drive wont post check the jumper to make sure it is set to Master and not CS or Slave... some systems will use a single drive with any setting whereas some will only accept a single drive as a Master and nothing else. worse comes to worse, it will give you a chance to spend $30 for a SATA burner   Thanks HL and Corsair!

| Re: DVD Drive wont post well mainly i just swapped my board like literally last night. The DVD drive was working fine in Windows, but now wont work with the new motherboard. Its sayings it detected a Adapt CD drive, but then i just get the screen please insert bootable device. the DVD drive flashes when you put in the disk, but doesn't detect. My drive's an Asus drive and my old MB did detect the Asus drive, not saying adapt generic CD drive.

| Re: DVD Drive wont post This might sound dumb, but make sure you have the IDE cable is plugged in the correct way. Red wire towards the power connector. | ||||||||||||||
