LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Do you have more than 1 drive in your machine? If not, the drive you do have in there is a basic DVD-ROM drive. It can read discs but it can't write to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Joke Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 i have 2 drives. but windows doesnt recognize one of them. does that mean its a driver problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yes, look in device manager and see if they're both listed. If they aren't, check / replace the cables going to the missing drive - i.e. look inside the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So now check and see if the bios finds it - then check the connections to the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
