For a while i was wondering why my cd burner would work... it had power but it was never recognized by the computer. today i opened up my computer to clean off the hard drive and i found out that i never connected the IDE cable! works like a charm now ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

one of my neighbours had a computer, with a CD/DVD ROM.. it was
recognized in windows and we could eject the tray, so we thought all
cables were plugged in, but it wouldn't read the CDs.. then we did a
cable check just to be sure, and guess what.. the IDE was unplugged the weird thing was that only with the power cable windows saw it was a cd/dvd rom there  |

I must admit sometimes things tend to work better when connected LOL. Just think what it is like when you remember this when you have spent ½ day stripping and assembling a laptop only to find the connection you have missed is under all the bitz you have just replaced AAAAAAAAHHHHH. A good coffee and a scream in a paper bag helps at that time not forgetting the beer to wash the day away at night. I forgot to add, why scream into a paper bag? So you can seal the end up when finished pop it into a bin so no one knows of your frustration. If this don’t work hold your hands up and clam insanity. ------------- BoLt (Computer Engineer) I suffer from Dyslexia, it means I can not spell to well not that I am thick. www.welshlens.co.uk |

Why is it the biggest of problems are usually caused by the smallest of things? It's a bitch... ------------- Wolfie--[ http://www.wolfweb.co.uk - WolfWeb.co.uk ] PHP, .net--[ beginner ] ASP, VB, C, SQL--[ intermediate ] X/D/HTML, CSS, WML, XML--[ |

The more technical you are, the more you tend to look for the fault in a complex way instead of checking the fuse 1st. This was always common with the professor of electronics I used to work with. He always checked the software, electronics and voltages (none found) and then checked if he had plugged the dam thing in after. ------------- BoLt (Computer Engineer) I suffer from Dyslexia, it means I can not spell to well not that I am thick. www.welshlens.co.uk |
