CD-RW CD-ROM Drives not recognized!

by johnbarbchuck . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

I just replaced the 40-pin connector cable for my CD-ROM and CD-RW drives. Now the DEVICE MANAGER recognizes the CD-ROM drive incorrectly … and does not recognize the CD-RW drive at all.

BEFORE replacing ribbon cable… Device Manager reported the following under CDROM:
MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8586 (6/8/2000)
SONY CD-RW CRX230E (6/8/2000)

AFTER installing the new cable …
AADQ

I have no idea what happened. Any help will be much appreciated!
