Right, i've just installed my first DVD rom, it went in fine but my system didnt recognise this new hardware, i`m running XPproSP1.
I've never done anything like this before, but i though i would try fiddling about inside with the master and slave circuits and now my computer wont start, it wont even get to the BIOS, the moniter isnt even receiveing a signal it just beeps in this kind of pattern (B=Beep, P=pause):
(power on) B P B B B P B B B P
My objective is to get two drives one CDrom and One DVD rom/CDrw (combo)
Right now though i wont be to bothered if i never get either to work, i just want my computer to switch on and work.
I've dissconected all the applicable IDE cables and then reconnected them again, Nothing. same beeping.
Can anyone help? please?
