Disk Drive Issues

by operatorofpr . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition
2005 on my desktop computer and recently did a
salvage operation on a broken computer, hoping
to add an extra disk drive to my computer, as
well as a few other things. During the
operation, my computer wouldn’t boot up, so I
decided to drop the salvaging and stick with
what I have now. Now, I have another issue. I
need to use the Operating System disk to install
a component on my computer, and for some reason,
the disk drive will open and work on its own,
but the computer doesn’t register it. I looked
in My Computer and couldn’t find the drive (D:).
I also checked in the Device Manager, and it was
there. If anyone can help me with this, I need
to know what to do. A huge thanks in advance for
your advice.
