    Hi: does anyone know much about these DVD-R/RW drives? I baught one today and hooked it up, Windows XP recognises it but no Cd's or DVD's play or burn in it. I have the latest drivers and looked everywhere for help but can't fine any. The bussy light and the disc tray work fine. Can anybody please help me?

    Tks

    How did you connect it up. As a master on the IDE 2 channel?

    I connect the DVD-R like Slave because already have a DVD player like Master. The DVD-R is connected in the same IDE (40 pin I/O) conncetor as my DVD player.

    Tks

    Change them around. Make the DVD Writer the Master and the DVD ROM the slave. It will work better that way
