i boughta dvd burner about 2 months ago, i took out my old dvd player,but i found out i wasnt able to play my cam mimi's anymore..so i took out my CD-R burner and put in my dvd player..now both my dvd player and burner dont even show up in MY COMPUTER.

if both roms are on same cable, change dvd burner to master & dvd rom to slave by using the jumper on backside of drive. do not use cable select!!!
