I was burning some MP3s using XP
my CD/RW works fine
but not today!!!
windows froze up .
I restarted my PC and lost the CD/RW and the DVD ROM/RW(I have 2 drives installed)
icons in MY COMPUTER.
The drives were on IDE 2 on a new cable.
I have tried every thing to no avail.
new cable..Nada!!!
so I connected the DVD drive to the IDE 1 cable with my 20 GB DRIVE (I disconnected the 80gb HDD)
and I can watch DVDS and CD MOVIES and listen to audio and mp3 DISKS.
