Our Dell XPS's (running XP) old dvd rw died a couple of months ago. I finally purchased a replacement (Samsung 'Writemaster) and when I install it and reboot, neither the existing CD Rw drive nor the new DVD Rw drive is recognized by the computer. Both have power and can be opened/closed. This came with no driver. When I disconnected (EIDE cable connections) the DVD RW, the CD RW was back.
I am strictly novice. Any help would be appreciated.
