Ah, now there's a distinct possibility. If the DVD drive is on the same cable as one of the HDDs, You need to look on the dvd drive in back and re-jumper it to a slave. If the jumper directions are not on the drive or (enclosed) documentation, you should be able to find them on the web.
Alternately, you can put the dvd drive on the second channel cable all by itself. Either way, when you have it hooked up correctly, you'll be able to verify by going into cmos before booting into the os, if the bios sees it, then the os should also recognize it and load the necessary drivers etc. Dennis On Sun, 2006-01-15 at 20:14 -0800, Brian Chrisman wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Well, I finally got my NEC 3550A DVD burner from !%$#%@ Newegg.
