GLIK$ Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 or others, your help is wanted, i just picked dirty because he seems to have an abundance of knowledge when dealing with computers. Recently when i start up my ol comp my CD Rom and CD Burners dissapear, i go into my BIOS and even that wont read them, but if i unplug the IDE cable and replug it, the fuckers are there. Help me?

Dirty_habiT Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Virus scan your system. Some viruses can change bios settings. I'm not sure, but you could try changing that little watch battery on the mother board too. Tell me if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLIK$ Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 no virii, i think it may be my IDE cable, because when i unplug it and re plug it, it works, shit i think im just gonna buy a new burner, i mean $99 for a 48x isnt that bad i think this 8x is a lil old any hoo.

Dirty_habiT Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Try switching around the hard drive and burner.... maybe switch it from IDE1 to IDE2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLIK$ Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 see that could work, because i just built this new computer, and i put my burner on top and my cd rom on the bottom, but in the old one it was reversed. thanks for the :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
