Hi,

Have taken my son-in-laws Toshiba DVD SD M1502 and put it in my PC.
I took out my existing CD Rom (Drive E - Drive D is the CDRW) and replaced the connections exactly as before.

He had it running in W2000 OK.

I can't get the PC to recognise Drive E for some reason.
The DVD lights up and runs when I put a CD / DVD in it, so the power is there etc.

Is there a driver please other than the MS DOS one on the Toshiba site which I can install ?

I can't get anything on the Install Wizard and 'My Computer' just shows A - C - D - F.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers, Richie (UK)

Look in control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management, and make sure the drive is there, and has a drive letter assigned

If its not there, make sure you set the Jumper correctly [Master/Slave/Cable Select] when you installed it.

Hello Aftab,

You're a scholer and a gentleman. It was that my son in law had the cable in the 'cable select' and not 'slave'.

I should have worked that one out on the fact my drives are the opposite way round to his.

Very many thanks again - all working 100 per cent.

Cheers, Richie
