I have a 52x32x52 LG CD-RW, it will detect in the bios and in my computer it
opens and closes fine but does not detect the CD. What could be the cause
of this?

I think you mean that you do not see the CD drive in my computer. If that is the case you likely have the Master/Slave settings wrong on the drive. The firest one on the cable general is the master and the middle one the slave or you could try them as cable select if your board supports that.

It sounds like it's defective and should be returned if new. -- DaveW "Jamie" <jamieivany.RemoveThis@nf.sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:0h6Td.8140$oh4.298238@ursa-nb00s0.nbnet.nb.ca... >I have a 52x32x52 LG CD-RW, it will detect in the bios and in my computer >it opens and closes fine but does not detect the CD.

I once had exactly the same problem but the drive just stopped detecting the CD in the drive all of a sudden. I wasn't messing with the jumpers at the back of the drive, it just... stopped working. Took the hint and threw the fucker in the bin. New CD-RW drives are damn cheap these days.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: CD Burner Problem

Maby I am misunderstanding Jamies question. I take it to mean The bios hence motherboard sees the drive but if you click on the my computer icon on a windows machine the Cd is not showing up there in the list of drives. I took it this was a new drive he put in that he could not get to work. If in fact he means his drive will not read a cd then by all means chunk it a buy a new one.

sorry about the misunderstanding. My BIOS detects it, "My Computer" detects it. It gets power and opens and closes. It doesn't seem to spin the CD and constantly says please insert Disc. The jumpers and IDE and power cable are correct. I just wanna know if it is dead which I think it is. >> Stay informed about: CD Burner Problem
