Have faith in the powers of the supernatural!

Make the problem drive be set to "cable select". If it's on a chain with nother CD drive, also set that to cable select. If they're both on cable select and you're having the problem, make one of them master and one slave. 2- Re-seat the IDE cable connection both on the motherboard and on the drive. (Pull out, and push back in) Re-seat the molex (power) connector, as well. (Only on drives) only do this if you know how to deal with computer innards. =] You don't want to zap something by mistake.

No dice. Thanks mean DVD player. Grrrr... Oh well, I lost my job after that and then I got to watch it at home - so pfffffft! (How is that for a sad spin on the unemployment situation? LOL!)

No way. Hope you get everything sussed out soon. I’ve always had just dial-up so I can’t sympathize, but a 14″ monitor? No way. Hope you get everything sussed out soon.
