Installing SATA DVD/RW with Asus Rampage 2 gene

My old DVD/RW was connected by IDE cable but this died a few weeks back.

I've checked my motherboard to see if it will accept SATA drives, to which it says it does.

I have bought a new DVD/RW and its connected via a SATA cable. I have plugged the SATA cable into the SATA port on the M'Board and connected it to the DVD/RW. I was assuming it would be 'Plug and Play' like the IDE cable but it's not showing in my computer.

What do I need to do to get it working? I thought I'd ask you guys first encase I downloaded drivers that I don't need.

Many Thanks
Dan

Welcome to EightForums.


Will the DVD Drive show in BIOS?

Hi

Firstly I'm a twit. I signed up to a windows 8 forum when I've got windows 7 :/

Yes, it does show up in the BIOS.

It shows in My Computer but it just wont record a CD.
