Subject: cd rom installationOS: win 2000 proCPU/Ram: 1.35 g. 256 ram |
Comment: If you think this looks familiar, I think I posted it in the wrong forum and you may have run across it before. 1. I have working knowledge of some software, but am novice at hardware.
2. Tried to install LTR-52327S.
3.OS=win 2000 pro
4. Ran hardware wizard.
5. CD-drive appeared as "unknown device."
6. Wizard said needed to restart to finish installation.
7. Restarted several times with no apparent effect.
8. After each restart, hardware wizard said needed to restart to finish installation.
Can you help me correct the installation? What should I do?

Reply: (edit)Initial problem seems solved. By checking BIOS, I hope you meant going into the cmos at start up. I found the cdrom listed and noted that I had mistakenly set it up as slave. Reset to master and the first problem disappeared. The cdrom is now shown as installed on the system wizard, but it does not appear in "my computer." Inserted a cd and it was not read. Believe I saw something on this problem eslewhere and will search, but any leg up kind of help will be appreciated. Thanks for all your responses. They helped identify the first problem.

Reply: (edit)Most fairly decent P-I motherboards and above are DMA capable as are all but the oldest drives (~2 gig and less). So as long as both the motherboard and drive are DMA capable you'd want it ON in the OS drive settings. There's a chart here comparing ATA and DMA terminology.
