Hey,
So I have your generic ATA DVD Drive that hasn't worked for... a long time, I have the main end of the IDE cable plugged into the back of the drive, and the middle part plugged into my only ATA hard drives (I have two other hard drives which are SATA) could that be the problem? Should I try putting the middle part of the IDE cable into the DVD Drive?
Basically, it opens - so it's not a problem with power or anything, but it's just not being detected by the BIOS or Windows.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
P.S. I have no idea on the model, sorry.
