Greetings,
I've been running a self-built desktop system in my home for
3+ years. It is built around an Abit BH6 board, runs W2k Pro
sp4, is generally stable.
I have a couple hard drives on the first IDE channel.
I have a an old Samsung SW-206 CD-RW as Master and an older
BCD 40XH CD-ROM as slave on the second IDE channel.
The CD-RW, which used to work OK will no longer recognize a
CD volume. I insert a CD, the read light blinks, but no
volume/files are detected. I've shuffled several CD's from
the CD-ROM to the CD-RW: they are all recognized by the CD-
ROM, none are recognized by the CD-RW. It's as if there were
no CD in the CD-RW device.
W2k says the CD-RW "is working properly". I have
uninstalled/reinstalled the (Windoze) driver, and tried 3
different ribbon cables, checking the connections very
carefully.
Not sure where to go from here. Any/all advice/suggestions
would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
David
