I have a Dell Inspiron B130 laptop and the old disc drive went to crap. I bought a new disc drive and the model number on it is UJDA760. So I manually installed it in to my laptop and it tells me there is no hard drive in my laptop? Any ideas what i can do? Also I can get pictures to show you what I'm talking about. Thank you for your time.

... you put in a new "Panasonic / Matsushita UJDA-760 24X24X24X8X DVD-ROM/CD-RW Slim Line Notebook Drive (UJDA760) " ?.... and now the bios does NOT see the harddrive .... tap "F2" key @ boot-up to enter your bios and look for autodetect harddrive apply making sure it see's harddrive and dvdrom etc , save on exit. Grrrr "...pentathol makes you sing like a canary" http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/... ... got brain freeze

BIOS Device Manager Primary Dard Drive (none) Modular Bay Device DC-ROM None of These Fields are Changeable. I couldn't find anything for auto detect hard drive. I don't know what to do.

... you might of disturbed a connection fitting the dvdrom ... of course you should of earthed youself incase your static fried some chips! ... Its quite rare but can happen always be safe than sorry! http://support.euro.dell.com/suppor... ... unhook the hard drive and reconnect it...worth trying!

Impossible, I've only ever handled this with rubber gloves. The reason why it took me so long is because i thought i had already posted a msg. No harm has came to this while in my hands.
