I'm using a computer my dad built from scratch, it'snothing fancy, justythe bare minimum, recently though I wanted a dvd drive installed so he willingly obliged, unfortunatly the dvd drive never worked (was set as master) then after more fiddling (setting the pre-existing cd drive as master) the cd drive doesn't work. Now, when I'm trying to run The sims 2 through my cd drive I get this message: "The procedure entry point CallWind(small square)wProcA could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll." labled, "Entry point not found"
What the heck is going on? can anyone help? had this problem before? My drivers are reportedly up to date and satisfactory, I've tried unistalling and re-installing and now I'm stuck

One must be set as master, and the other as slave, they cannot be both slave or master at the same time.

i had a similar problem recently installing a DVD burner into a tower with an existing CD. the drivers were so closely related, the system couldn't successfully assign them to the proper device. this doesn't happen very often and is pretty hard to troubleshoot. just so you know it is a possibility
you could double check the jumpers on the drives, try switching them between the master and slave positions, or try booting with only one drive installed. i would suggest just getting rid of the CD drive and use only the DVD.

As soon as computer starts, press DEl.
The bios page will appear. go through the menu and add the correct spec of your cd drive/DVD.

Had similar problem. The BIOS may have disabled itself when you had it setup wrong. Look at your IDE settings in BIOS. It may be turned off or you may have to force the BIOS to detect the drive.
