Re: This RULES, if you have any cash, I highly recommend this
jason,
What bus do you have the dvd set up on...
Is it set up on the primary ide contoller or secondary and is it set up as a
master or a slave??
I'm having a hell of a time getting any linux distro to see my samsung cdrw
(secondary ide, master) and toshiba 8x dvd drive(secondary ide, slave). My
hard drive is on the primary ide as master. I want to purchase a dvd ram
drive.
Thanks,
Jeff Davern
