Well, ive found something interesting.
I got my drive all plugged in, so im like GREAT its gonna work! Because i found my problem was i was plugging a 40 pin IDE into a 39 pin slot, im not sure that was the exact problem, but whatever.
I also found that the 39pin IDE connecting to my actual Drive, had a second connector. So i figure hey, i plug it in, itll work, right? Because looking at another computer i own, that is how that setup was as well.
I do it, plug it in, and i get an error on the bootup.
I unplug the Mitsumi CD R-RW , and boom, everything loads fine.
It gives me a disk boot error.
And while my computer is detecting the IDEs, it only detects one master, that being my drive. While in fact i have 2 Masters set, my drive, and my CD R. So i try setting it to slave. No help =\
I think im just going to have to buy a whole new cd drive.
The problem is, it used to work until my stepfather took it out to try it in another computer. So i think thats when the problem occured.
I plug in the power cord, and the light on the front of the drive comes on, but i try to open it, and it doesnt even try to open =\
Im sorry this was so long, but thanks for taking the time to read this.
If im not on , and its not to much trouble, could you pm me the solution, or email.
