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?


Take it has a Cd Rom also or just DVD as original slave?

If it have a CD Rom also you might try putting the CD ROM as the slave on the Writer and the DVD as Slave on HD give that a try
