Long story short . . .
I installed my friends dvd-rom drive and it does not show in device manager or my computer.
I tried uninstalling the cd-rom (as it recognises that immediately) then reconnecting the dvd-rom. Still nothing. I made sure all leads were connected properly.
It is compatible with the computer.
It is doing my head in lol

PLEASE HELP :)

Was the optical drive working in your friend's computer? It looks like it could be shot.

Is the jumper configuration set up right, for the way you have it connected?
