pro1driver Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 had the drive been working before, or did it just stop. if it just stopped, i think it died. you might try to re-install the drivers see if that works, but if it doesn't then a new one may be in your future.

pro1driver Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) My CD burner also has stoped working on me what could cause 2 drives to die.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>could be a bad IDE channel/chain. could be a bad IDE cable. could be the mobo is getting ready to "buy the farm". try a new IDE cable first, they are cheap enough.i would also check with your mobo makers web site for updated controllers for the mobo.this is why i usually don't throw away "spare parts" when tearing apart older pc's to be junked. i even save (most) of the tiny screws, washers, stand-off's, etc,etc.never know when a "quick substitute" may be needed for testing purposes.also, try getting into your pc's BIOS, and make sure that for whatever reason, that IDE channel/chain, hasn't been disabled. could be a "fluke" thing too.

Honda_Boy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 i had an instance once on my old computer where one drive stopped being recognized but on that same cable if I switched hookups on the cable the other CD drive wasn't noticed but the other was being recognized again. new cable fixed it. i would try a new cable. make sure all connections are properly fixed in place.
