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
