Hi all.
I recently fitted a second HDD to my DELL Precision 380 Desktop pc. (My aim is to run the MACH 3 software on the 2nd HDD) On re booting, Windows found the 2nd HDD and configured it ok. My problem started when a came to download the software from the CD Drive, nothing happened, this is what i checked out : -
The Hard Drives are SATA, drive 0 & drive 1. CD ROM is connected by IDE ribbon.
1) LED on front of CD ROM tray flashes.
2) CD is spinning OK.
3) CD tray ejects by pressing eject button.
3) Entered "My Computer" no CD icon showing.
4) Entered "Device Manager" there is no CD drive Listed.
5) Re started PC, pressed F2 and entered BIOS set up.
7) Scrolled to Boot Sequence it reads "On Board or USB CD ROM "Not Present"
8) In SATA setting, tried all 4 positions (No Change)
8) Tried spare IDE cable (No Change)
9) Tried spare, known good CD ROM Drive (No Change)
10) CD ROM jumper is at CS
11) Tried many variations of Jumper position (No Change)
HELP!
