Hi KennyB30,

Welcome to PC Mechanic !! :)

Did you add this as a second drive? Did you set the jumper to Slave if so? Or, if you set it up on it's own channel, did you set it to Master? Is the cable secure at both, or all three ends?

Have you tried another cable? Is that the only drive on channel 2? Can you pop the drive into a friends machine?

I have three Sony drives (CRX320A, DRU510A, DRU720A) and if you update the firmware with DMA enabled the drive wont work right, you need to enable PIO then install the firmware again.

firmware for the Sony DRU 710A can be found here; http://sony.storagesupport.com/
