embj 0 Posted August 14, 2002 I have a prob. and I was wondering if anybody could help me with it. Well it seems that when I try to install another CD-ROM or DVD-ROM that it gets rid of one of my other drives. Such as my CD-RW in the Master or my 2nd Hard Drive. It does not read anything from the drive or the drives it removed. Also, I have made sure that all of the pins are set correctly and that the cables are nice and snug. It used to work until I flashed my DVD-ROM. I flashed it because I could not get it to play any DVD's. Could anybody help me? Thanks for your help. :x **You may have seen this earlier last month. Did not get much response so I figured that I would post it again.*** Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted August 14, 2002 Hmmm, set all devices to Cable Select and see what happens. Share this post Link to post
embj 0 Posted August 15, 2002 Will try what both of you said. I hope it helps. No, I don't think that I have the BIOS for my motherboard because it is OEM. I will request it from HP. Also, I do not have the driver for the DVD. I bought it used on eBay without the drivers. It worked on another comp. though. I wish myself good luck. I am going to try to work on it this afternoon.

embj 0 Posted August 16, 2002 I tried all of the pin setting and the DVD still did not work. I think that flashing it made the drive toast. I finally got the other CD-ROM to work. So I have it in there now until I get a new DVD. Which will be new with the drivers this time. I tried to install the DVD on my old comp. with Win. 98 and it did not pick it up on that either. So I believe that that was my prob. I still do not understand why flashing it screwed it up. I know it was the right flash. I made sure that it was by looking @ the drive's label on top of it. I am never going to flash a removable drive again! Share this post Link to post
CrazyKillerMan 0 Posted August 16, 2002 I had a very similar problem with a dying fujitsu hard drive. WHEN it wasnt working (it worked half the time until it died) the other Maxtor drive on the chain was also removed. I could not see or detect the drives in the bios either. Maybe the DVD player died, but the flash could be the reason why. Share this post Link to post
