Hi there, I know this is probably the wrong place for this but could not find anywhere elso to post.
For some reason both my dvd drives will not open, when I looked in device manager both of the drives come up as SCSI drives which they are not. I have reset the bios but still the same thing, any ideas would be much appriciated.

Thanks

Rangersmith.

All was connected, but I changed the rail and all is fine now.

Thank you
