Re: can't find cd-rom icon in my computer

Nick, if you just got a new computer it could be that the cdrom drive is not
connected. Open the case and check to see that
the white power plug and the Ribbon Data cable are connected. The red
stripe on the outer edge of the ribbon cable should
be facing the white power connector. If on the other side then disconnect
the ribbon cable and reconnect with the red stripe
facing power connector.
