Dick: Your hardware apparently is not recognizing the new drive. You might have to go into the BIOS setup for the computer and make sure it is set up to recognize other drives. How you access the BIOS varies, but most of the time includes holding a key while the computer boots (try the Esc, Del, F2 or F10 keys); most of the time the startup screen will display briefly the key that you need to press to access the BIOS. Once you get into the BIOS screen, you can see if the hardware is being detected, if it is not, you might have a bad connection or a bad drive.

I lost my CD-ROM/DVD drive over the weekend, and had to install a new one (a H-P internal drive) today, but Windows XP Pro does not recognize it and I cannot use the new drive. My drives now are A, C, and E. The CD-ROM drive used to be D but it isn't there any more. How can I get it back without reformatting the hard drive? Thanks!!!!! Dick Richard S.
