If the advice at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461/en-us doesn't solve your problem then you could try reinstalling or updating your IDE drivers. Uninstall original drivers, restart PC. Either let Windows find the correct drivers or get them from your PC or DVD Drive manufacturers website. Good luck Rob -- Red meat isn't bad for you....Blue, Green fuzzy meat is bad for you. |

So you see it being enumerated during the POST?

Hi, Apologies, but If you can't get into the BIOS how do you know the DVD is recognized? Are you seeing it during POST? Anyhow if you need to gain access to your BIOS setup and you don't know the password then look here for advice: http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-bios-password.shtml Rob -- Red meat isn't bad for you....Blue, Green fuzzy meat is bad for you.
