Bios will not recognize CDRW
I'm trying to install a Philips CDRW 3200. I have tried every possible jumper configuration and have had no luck. There are NO options in the BIOS that I can see that would prevent it from seeing this device. There is however another jumper on the very left side of the CDRW that reads "For Factory Use Only". Not sure what this is for but I haven't messed with it. Also, when I plug in the device the two lights on the front of the burner stay on constantly. They are for Read and Write. Another weird thing, when this CDRW is plugged on the same IDE cable as another device (hard drive, DVD ROM), that device is also not recognized in the BIOS or Windows. By the way I'm using Windows XP if that helps. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I at the point where I think the device is broken or faulty. Thanks.
