CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-
RAM & CD-RW/DVD Combo Drives
The CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM or CD-
RW/DVD-Combo Drive does not work
Most likely cause: CD-ROM drivers are not loaded or are conflicting with other drivers.
One or more of the steps described below may require you to work inside your computer. Please
read the WARNING at the beginning of this chapter before you proceed.
1. Verify that the CD-ROM was not inserted upside down and that you are using the correct
type of CD Media for your Drive (see “CD-ROM Drive,” Chapter 3). For example, a DVD
disk will not function in a CD-ROM or CD-RW drive and a CD-ROM drive cannot write
data to a CD-R disk. See your Drive’s documentation for information about media
compatibility.
2. Verify that the CD Media has a clean surface, and try another data CD/DVD that you
know works properly.
3. In Windows, open My Computer to check that Windows recognizes your Drive. If your
drive does not appear skip to Step 5.
4. Remove any recently installed hardware (see “Opening Your Computer Case,” page 6-
10) or software to see if the new installation is causing a conflict.
5. Verify that the Master/Slave jumper on the Drive is properly configured. Note that this
step requires powering down your computer and opening the case.

sound card. Speakers should be connected either to the Line Out or Speaker jacks.
3. Check to see if your speakers are receiving power. Is the Power or On LED on?
4. Check your speakers by hooking them to another computer or your CD drive headphone
output jack and playing an audio CD.
5. If you have Windows XP, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, or Windows 2000,
