CD Drive in bios, no cd in Windows
This is really pi$$ing me off. New cd drive (GSA-4163B) on P4B533 mobo, with 300W PS and new ide cable, is recognized in bios, and drive shows in Windows, but when you put a disc in, it doesn't show up.
Tried in conjunction with Liton dvd-rom, as slave, master, cs, no difference.
ever see this?_______________

Maybe the drive is buggy. Can you exchange for another one since you said yours is new?

Everything look okay in Device Manager?
Does the disc spin when you put it in and double click on the drive?_______________
