I just built a system with an ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe
motherboard and a P4 2.8Ghz processor. I am using XP with
SP1 and all other critical updates installed. I installed
a DVD-Rom and DVD-RW drive on the secondary IDE. Both of
these drives worked fine in my old Dell. Both drive
jumpers were set to cable select, and when I started the
new computer the DVD-RW was not recognized. I set the DVD-
rom to master and -RW to slave, and everything seemed to
be fine. The problem I have now is any disc I put into
the -RW locks up the computer for about a minute, and
will not read the disc at all. I've tried swapping the -
rom and -rw drives, different cable, installing only the -
rw drive, nothing seems to work. I thought maybe the
drive itself was bad, so I tried a CD-RW drive, it did
not work either. Everything looks good in the device
manager. I updated the mobo BIOS and DVD-rw drive
firmware also. Any advice would be appreciated.
