    GCE-8400b not detected

    Problem:

    LG CD-R/RW drive (model gce-8400b) is not detected by windows xp. If I install new ide drivers (nforce2 400 ultra) drive freezes entire system while trying to read disk. If ejected during this intensive reading, everything is back in order and system works fine, until next cd or dvd is inserted.

    I'm totally out of ideas.

    Configuration:
    Mobo: Epox 8rda3+ nForce2 chipset
    RAM: 512 Mb
    uP: Amd 2600+
    IDE 1 primary: old, very old 6 Gb hard drive
    IDE 1 secondary: Old 55 Gb hard drive
    IDE 2 primary: CGE-8400b drive ("cable select")

    Windows XP, SP1, english

    Help, please.

    Welcome to Windrivers FutureGuru


    First off, take it off cable select on the CGE-8400b and jumper it as master. Ensure that the bios sees the drive when it boots.

    Next, what is shown in device manager for the cdrw?
