Comment: I have a problem with an HP6615 I want to put a CD Writer in it. I attached the CD Writer to the cable but the BIOS won't see the writer. I attach the original CD to the cable and the BIOS sees it. How can I get the BIOS to see the writer or are there only certain Writers that will be seen by this machine.

Reply: (edit)Next to the connector on the back of the drive where the ribbon cable plugs into there are 3 jumper settings to set the drive as a master, slave or cable selcted drive. Which one are you using and on which IDE channel? Are there any other drives plugged into the same IDE channel? borelli34

Reply: (edit)Tried on all three settings the cable is plugged into the secondary ide port and nothing else is connected. It seems strange that it will see the old CD-ROM when it's attached but not the new writer could it be that the writer is too new for this computer?
