Hey

My 2 DVD-rom drives arn't appearing in my computer, or in ImgBurn (It says No devices dectected).

Yet, in my device manager, they are there, both of them, saying they are functioning correctly.

What's up with that? Assistance plz? thanks.

disconnect the ide cable to 1 drive at a time to see if the other is seen by the bios or windows. try reseating the ide cable to the drives & to the motherboard. try another ide cable.
