cd-rom hangs up
Hello all. Having a problem with my cd-rom hanging up.
After inseting a disc the pointer turns int an hour glass and just hangs up. I cannot eject the disc, it just spins. I have to reset the computer and eject the disc upon startup. The cd burner I recently installed works fine. This problem occured after I installed the burner. I am using Roxio burning software. I have checked device manager and have no conflicts. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

cd-rom hangs up
Check to see that the burner recently installed and the cdrom are not BOTH
installed as master(or both as slave) on the same cable, either set one to master and one to slave, or both to cable select, by positioning the jumpers on the pins at the rear of the drives, somewhere next to the data cables. jumpers are not standard but are usually well labelled (c s m) or something similar WD drives have pin patterns for the jumpers printed on the cases -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters "Bob" wrote in message ... | Hello all.
