Title: Installing DVD drive
Post by: Low Spark on June 19, 2006, 11:55:41 AM

So i installed my DVD drive. Everything hooked up nicely, ide cable and power cable everything was snug. I go to reboot my computer and it want reboot. It gets to the first sccreen and locks up or just want go any further. I hit f1 and f10 repeatly and nothing. I shut down and disconnect and try rebooting and it reboots perfectly. So what is up. My son said that he has never seen that. Am i doing something wrong?????? Help will be appreciated. Thanks

Tony

I added a drive. Jumpers? My ide cable has a second plug coming off the CD drive.  Where will i find the jumpers? Im pretty stupid when it comes to comp. I have installed other drive HD's with no problems. I dont understand this one.
