Sata DVD-Burner problem?

My Specs: i bult my pc 2 years ago and it is running windows xp sp3 and has an amd duel core x64 and 3gh my hard drive is an sata western digital harddrive and my motherboard is a gigabyte s-series model GA-M61PME-S2.

i previously had two ide dvd burners in it but they went bad after awile so i bought a new LG ide dvd burner and an new Plexor SATA dvd burner, my problem is that when i installed them they showed up and every thing in my computer but when i put a disc in the Sata drive it wont read the disc....so i dont know if i have to do something in my bios for it or what...??

  • Verify that the data and power cables are connected securely at both the drive and mobo ends.

    During the start up after a reboot you should see all of the installed drives. If the SATA drive is not shown open BIOS setup and turn auto detect on.

    Has the SATA drive ever worked? It could be DOA. Return it for a replacement/refund.

    Good Luck

  • you're able to desire to place in the drivers for the DVD drives. they simply would artwork on the old drivers yet no longer exact. flow to the cyber web website of the producer of the DVD force and acquire the driving force and deploy it.
