Hi, I've been trying to install my DVD-RW and I have two open slots in my computer, for CD drives. So, a couple of months ago I had put a regular DVD-reader in the second slot, but a week ago I got a DVD-RW burner and am trying to install it in the primary slot, where Dell had put their cd drive, regular CD-RW. So, I figured no big deal rmoves the two wires from the dell drive and took it out and put in my nice new DVD-RW. So I as all pumpoed because this was the same day I got my new GFX card and now both were in, I was like NICE. Lo and behold I turn on my computer to find out the computer can't find EITHER DVD drives. Before it had found both now it can't find one. SO my brother suggested I put back in dells drive and it worked. So then I took out the reg DVD-R and put the DVD-RW in, but my question is how do I take out dells drive so I can put DVD's in both slot? I wasn't sure where to put this, so I hope this is the right board, if not point me in the right way please. Feel free to help even if this is the wrong board
You may need to set the jumpers on the back of your drives. Set one as primary and the other as secondary or cable select.
