G'day guys and gals

I've just bought and installed a new cd-rw as my old one was playing up. It was playing Audio and reading about 50% of the games but seemed to fail the more it sped up. Anyway I got a new Cdrom/burn and insalled it

1. no other cd or drive fitted, so i connected it to the secondry IDE port and the jumper was already fitted to the MASTER device setting. all like the previus cdrom/burner (wich I removed by the way)

2. fitted the power cable. Power available, opens closes and spins.

3. connected audio cable to motherboard though the mother board audio is off as I have a seperate sound card fitted.

4. will not read any cd either music or game/data

the board is a ak77pro, the nero software it came with can not be read! but the device manager (xp) is telling me that the device is working and it installed new hardware via the wizard ok.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks guys [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]
