If it's the same brand, the jumpers may have to be set the same way. I wish I could point you to a site that shows the jumper configurations but I'm looking for something similar too. In my case, I bought a different CDROM than the one I was replacing and the jumpers would not allow booting from a system disc. Then I changed the jumpers having only half a**ed plan and the system disc boots but gives 5 copies on the desktop. Must be the wrong setting. Good luck. Eric
