I installed a hp cd burner into my system just as the instructions said with the jumpers and all being diff. on the cdrom and the burner...they are both hooked up on the same cable. the cdrom has been set on the slave and the cdburner (internal) was set at Master. My son gave this to me and he didn't send anything with it..grrr.. But anyway...I plug them cables in and the power connector and figured...ok...windows should recognize this with no problem....NOT..I went and booted my system and the darn thing started screamin at me....with the warning beeps...whats up with that. That usually is a signal for when the system gets hot isn't it?? so anyway...I unpluged the cdburner...and turned the system on again....same thing happened.....beep..beep...beep....sheesh. and it was back to the way I had it to begin with.....
Lord help me...I hope the motherboard didn't fry. Thats what keeps going on in my head..sheesh. Does anybody have any idea whats up? It worked fine before I connected the cable and the power connector line. You would think the system just wouldn't recongnize it or something. hmmm Im puzzled. And I've worked and rebuilt my own puter...hope someone can help me....thanks...Snowbird
