Hi Vikingss, Hopefully this may be a driver issue. Click on the CD/RW gif in my post and scroll to Section 15, article 1 and see if using Device Manager corrects the problem. Also Dell recommends Clearing the NRVAM if the above fails, Section 11, article 2 of the same CD/RW link.
Happy Halloween
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 the difference.
Hi Vikingssi, When you installed the second Hard-drive, how did you set the jumper on the back of the drive? Dell ships their systems using the Cable Select Feature, the jumper (shunt) covering two small pins labeled with either CS or CSEL, something to check.
Dell`s article on "Clearing the NVRAM" should correct this problem if the drives are set properly. Did you try it?
Best Regards

I think the problem stems from when I put a second hard drive into the machine several months ago.
The 'D' drive was my DVD-ROM and now it's a hard drive. My DVD-drive is not DRIVE'E' but the system does not recognize it
