You were able to use it to install windows?

 

[jeremy6939]

yes and i used it to install my games but now it just dont want to work...

OK, so at one point it WAS working and now it isn't? Have you made any hardware changes recently like adding a new hard drive, or another optical drive?

 

[jeremy6939]

yes correct........the only thing new is a hd and its sata thats about it.....to install my games i hade to turn the comp off unplug the power to the cd drive and plug it back in, but i got tired of taking off the side panel sometimes it wouldnt work if i did that..
