Hi Rose,A couple of things, double check the jumper setting when you installed the drive, Dell ships their systems using the Cable Select jumper features, so it should be on CS.Then verify that you have DMA enabled for the drive, click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 15, articles 14 & 17.Best Regards God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell thedifference.

Hi Rose,Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 15, articles 14 & 17, see if these help.If not, then it is possible the drive may be turned off in the BIOS, so you will need to enter the BIOS and set the IDE channel to Auto or ON, hopefully the first or second artilce above will be the fix.Best Regards God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell thedifference.
