My PC won't recongize by newly insallted DVDRW (ComStar 16x16). I put it in place of my old CDROM drive (there wasn't enough rails to have all 3, or cables). I can open and close the drive, but the computer dosen't see it in My Computer, dxdiag, Device Manager or the BIOS. Also, my other drive, a CDRW, doesn't even opening up! :eek: I check the connections repeadedly, and I'm sure that the CDRW is set to slave (I didn't touch it),and the DVD is set to Master. My DVD drive is on top, and the CDRW is on the bottom.

Any ideas? Should I try switching the Master/Slave Jumpers?

Thanks for your time. :confused:
