Have you tried going to the manufacturers site and see if they can be of help? If nothings posted in the Help / Support area, an email to them would probably solve the problem.
Welcome to the board.  |

Check the manual and see if they have a preferance as to if it should be set to master or slave with a jumper (usually in the back.). Also make sure all the wires are fully plugged in. Some can be difficult and check to see if you accidently turned the plug over the wrong way. They are supposed to only go in one way but with a little effort they will sometimes go in half way bottom side up.
 Check Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device manager>Ide ATA Controlers and see if the DMA state for your CDRW is set per the manual recomendations. If everything else looks ok go into control panel and remove all cd drives from your system (just in the control panel) and reboot. It should find it and ask for the drivers. As was previously mentiond manufacturers should be a good resource for help. JimL |

Its an I/O Magic and no I haven't. But I'm wondering ...I don't see it listed in the add hardware wizard. In fact there isn't even a cd-rw in there, rom or anything.

Look in the desktop Icon " My Computer " ( right click, and left click on Open ), and see if the CD player shows up there.
