I replaced a Toshiba laptop cdrw/dvd drive with THIS one same make and model, but when i switched out the drive, the new drive doesn't show in the laptop at all? Any ideas???
 
What does the BIOS say? What does Disk Management say? Anything in Device Manager? Is the drive secure and locked in?
 
Device Manager i get nothing, its locked in, it cant go in any farther..bios..not sure how to tell!
 
I made sure the drive was 100% secure locked in, i dont know how to tell in the bios and do you think i need drivers?
 
bump? I need to get this fixed in order to run the windows cd to fix windows..im stummped!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
