Just did that and the same thing happened with it. Installed a Creative 48x without any success. Checked bios, ok, recognized at boot screen. Checked for new drivers on web, none. Reinstalled secondary IDE driver. No help. Must be motherboard related. If I can't find a solution will load old windows 98 and see what happens. At l;east then I will know if it is hardware or software. Although since OS installation worked on original I am inclined to think it is software. Lee

Have you tried to putting a much recent drive and seeing if that works?

I put an older Samsung CD ROM in a computer I just built, then installed Win Xp on it using this same drive to do the install. After installation I tried to use the CD ROM to install software, and it will not load the disc. When a disc is loaded the cursor shows a disc as if loading and does this several times but does not load.When using the tool bar desktop shortcut menu and placing the cursor on the drive when accessed here it always shows empty. It is recognized in the device manager and shows to have no problems. Ran the troubleshooter with no success. Checked out Doug's Tips and Tweaks and nothing there helped. Any ideas, or is this drive just dead. Thanks, Lee
