dell xps b model tower
the ide config was
cdrom
cdrw
zip drive
1.44 flop
i just got a new dvd-rw
so i swapped it with the cdrw
and for some reason it is not
completing found new hardware process
when it boots to xp pro
that and now its not showing my cdrom drive in my
computer either, so i went in the bios , changed it to plug and play
and it recongnized both completed process ,
i looked in my computer and everthing was as it should have and
then it prompted me to reboot so i did , however upon rebooting
it did the found new hardware thing and the icon were no longer in
my computer and drives would not auto load (drives being dvd-rw and cdrom), so i rebooted to bios again changed the plug and play
thing thinking maybe it had something to do with that , however
evertime i boot it does the same thing , i went and ran the add new hardware and it picked up the new dvd drive and completed it
and doing allowed me to auto run and icon appeared in my computer
untill i rebooted...then the same thing over and over,
the ide config in the bios recognizing them and they are set up correctly
i beleive...
they are definatly getting power and i swapped the ide cables thinking
that could have been it, but to no avail--- :4-dontkno :deveous:
so what do you think guys?
i do not have the installation disks for either...
thanks for the help :wink:
