You can open the chasis and look at the name of the CD/DVD rom and also note down the jumper settings at the back - Master/slave etc. |

You can also take it right out of the tower and check if the cables are connected properly. I had the same problem once b4 and it needed a new cable.You can buy a new one at any computer shop. I build computer using parts from other ones all the time. Just make sure you connect the right power cord . Best way is to mark the existing one b4 taking it out and replacing it with your compaq cd rom. Power down your computer ... if it doesn't have a switch on the back of the power pack, unplug it from the wall b4 opening up the case. I hope this helped |
