PC does not recognize a DVD assigned drive?

Question

I am having a problem and would like to be helped, pls reply!
I have HDs: C, D, DVD: E and CD-Rom: F on my PC, read/play ok, but it can not recognize a location of DVD "E" when burning a music or movie DVD to a blank disc; when burning job is done, that disc can not be run and It will give a message of "formatted unknown".
I checked thru the Disk management (Control Panel), all assigned disks are corrected, but checked thru the "Easy CD & DVD Creator 6" sometimes it shows "two" drive E (assigned DVD drive) and one drive F (CD drive).
If rotating DVD drive from E to F location and CD drive from F to E, DVD will burn dics ok, but CD will not copy wright.
would some supper one tell me how to fix it.
It seems like this problem occured when I have 2 HDs , a DVD and a CD-Rom drives, installed onto PC,I assigned then re-assigned names after rotating orders of disks, Later, I found these problems.
Million Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Chances are the CD drive and the DVD drive are not set up correctly.

Based on your description, I am going to assume that both the DVD and CD are on the same cable.

There are three common setting on CD/DVD drives that you adjust with jumpers on the back to the device, between the power cables (red/black/yellow) and the IDE ribbon cable (gray cable).

These settings are :
MA - Master
SL - Slave
CS - Cable select

There is a small plastic jumper that connects two pins to set the drive as MA, SL, or CS.

If you are on a Compaq or HP computer, try setting both to CS. If one is set to MA, then the other MUST be set to SL. the MA (Master) is always at the end of the cable.

"If rotating DVD drive from E to F location and CD drive from F to E, DVD will burn discs ok, but CD will not copy wright."

It is also possible that one of the connections on the cable is bad, since both drives seem to work (not at the same time though) depending on which connection you are using.

Your concern is your chum- continuously have an expert(computing gadget shop/save) do the setting up- that way if some thing is going incorrect you would be able to lead them to pay for it and get unfastened aspects which includes ram and different stuff- Dont ever enable some touch you computing gadget- no longer EVEN YOUR chum
