hi all...
im working on a system that just does not want to recognize the cd drive...
in bios, it said the drive is not installed, but it lights up like its checking the drive but the light just flashes 3 or 4 times then stops...
i dont know where to start....
i looked inside, the power cable is connected and the ide cable is connected, but that is all that is there...
there is no audio cable installed...
there is nothing wrong with the drive, i pulled it and installed it into my external enclosure and it worked fine...
its a dell...
it does not show up in the bios, or in the device manager...
help please..
