I recently purchased a new DVD-ROM drive as listed below. Previously, I had just a regular 48x CD-ROM drive installed with the Sony DVD writer installed as well. Everything worked fine.
I installed the new DVD-ROM drive, replacing the old CD-ROM drive, and booted up the computer. It booted normally, detected the new hardware, and everything seemed fine. The only problem then was that the mouse would start to stick or lock up for a few seconds, and then everything would go back to normal. So, I decided to reboot hoping that this problem would be corrected. After rebooting, I got an error message saying that neither Secondary Device Drive (0 or 1) could be found. I have the DVD writer as the slaved device and DVD-ROM as the master (as the CD-ROM was). I tried switching the jumper setting on the DVD-ROM drive and the computer wouldn't even load up.
On the error message screen saying it can find the Secondary Device Drives, it has the option to continue or go to the setup utility. In the setup utility I brought up the "Drive Configuration" menu and this is what was listed.
Diskette Drive A: ............3.5in, 1.44MB
Primary Master Drive........Hard Drive
Primary Slave Drive..........OFF
Secondary Master Drive....Unknown Device
Secondary Slave Drive......Unknown Device
IDE Drive UDMA...............ON (can be switched to OFF)
Selecting either Master or Slave for the Secondary Drive brings up this menu
Model: unknown
Drive Type....AUTO (can be swtiched to OFF)
Capacity.......n/a
If I choose to continue, instead of going into setup utility, the computer will boot up into Windows normally. However, when I go to my computer only the Hard Drive and Floppy Drive show up. There are no D or E drives. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
