Reply: (edit)Go into your Bios (usually by holding down Delete when you boot) and in the first selection you can hit enter and get the exact brand of your DVD ROM. Next you need to look around to make sure the DVD/CD Rom is enabled. If it is... then shut your computer off and open it up. If it's your only CD Drive... make sure it's plugged in correctly to the mobo... and make sure you're using the Master Plug instead of the Slave Plug on the wire that goes from the Mobo to the Rom Drive... Let us know how it turns out. PS: If you don't have your Mobo manual go to the manufacturers site... they should have something you can look at and print out in the way of a manual.
