Hello everyone I am new to this site and really don't know how it works so if I'm asking questions on the wrong part of this site I am sorry. I am having a bit of trouble with my Tecra 8100. After installing a LG Multi DVD Rewriter model# GSA-T20L ROM VERSION NR02AA I get a IDE #1 BOOT ERROR. I have read all the old posts and I just cant seem to get my drive to work on boot up. If I let the laptop boot then when at windows XP pop the drive out and push it back in it seems to work fine. I have read more then one post on jumping pins 45@47 on the DVD drive I cant believe that's the only way to make a DVD burner work on a TECRA 8100. Most all of the posts were from 04 or before. I was wondering if anyone knows of a better way to make a DVD burner work on a 8100 so I can boot with the drive. Or if anyone can show me a photo of just how to jumper the pins that would help alot do to the fact that the new drive has no sticker giving me a pin order I don't know what pins are what and I cant seem to find any old photos of how to jump the pins and what pins are #45@47. Any help would be VERY much appreciated. This is very frustrating I have asked Toshiba TECH support for help with this problem and also LG TECH support. Nether Co. wanted or even sounded interested in helping me with this problem.
