The computer just says drive missing ! Even though the DVD RW is there along with the old CD rom drive - any ideas ?
 
remeove the old one
plug new one in where it was
jump into the bios, make sure all channels are on and set to auto...
and do the jumper thing...
 
you may need to adjust the jumper settings,

make sure one is set as master and one as slave and they are at the correct points on the ide cable,

both set at cable select should work but in my experience it doesnt always
 
Have you configured your BIOS so that your PC knows about the new drive?
Have you installed the driver software for the new drive?
