Which operating system are you using? Have you tried updating the drivers from the DRIVE manufacturer's website?

Are the drives jumpered correctly - one as master and the other as slave? Did it used to work and just quit working? Is either of these drives a new addition to that system?

yes they r correctly jumpered, master-slave, i'm not sure if it used to work or not coz i got it frm a friend but i believe that it never worked coz he had use of it. and they are not new addition to the system. they were originally built in.
thanks

Sometimes the optics system just dies, but the light will come on and the drive will open and close, which is the mechanical system. If it is > 3 months old (and it is probably much more) you may just need to head on over to newegg.com - Less than $40 to solve the problem.
