I've got a Compaq PC. The CD drive was not working so installed a used drive yesterday. Now, when I start the machine, it only gets through a short part of the boot-up process then stops at a blank screen with a rapidly flashing cursor. I'm wondering if I have a bad CD drive or do I need to install a different set of drivers?

depending how you have the cd install on the ribbon cable ,make sure the jumper on the back of the cdrom is set right ,master or slave .
