Has any one any knowledge of this brand? My Stepdad bought one yesterday it is a 48X16X48 speed unit. (I think). When I tried helping him installing it as a slave to his existing DVD drive windows will not boot. It can be accessed in dos by way of a boot disk but windows will not complete a boot (Win98se). I tried it as master, slave, and alone without the DVD rom. Yes I have the jumpers right for each case and tried different IDE cables. BIOS is set to auto and I tried it set to ATAPI device. It is an older Gateway system Celeron 333 with 256mb ram. when trying to boot it freezes after the Win98 splash screen, the screen goes black and then nothing. CTRL ALT DEL does nothing at this point and can only "pull the plug" on it. Is it a bad unit, lousy brand or did I screw up?
