Hello,
My son has fitted a new DVD wroter
samsung Super Writemaster. It does not show the device in device manager and it will not read the disc that came with the DVD drive. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to make my computer recognise this new drive? Any help would be appreciated.

ok, is the cd drive sata or ide?
if it is ide, is it connected to the computer on the same cable as another peripheral like a hard drive or another cd drive.
if it is, then you need to check the jumpers on the drive. there should be a diagram on the drive near the rear to show what the jumpers are. they should be marked up as something along the lines ' cs, sl, ms' the ones you are interested in are the MS or The SL pins. look at the other drives pins and see what they are set to.
You need to have one set to MS and one set to SL. you cant have two of the same on the same cable.
MS = master and SL = slave.
Have a read of this page it will explain a little clearer for you

Hope it helps.
