Hello, I unplugged my dvd from my pc at home and connected it to my aunts computer, because her dvd writer was broken.

The computer does acknowledge the writer at startup, however, when I insert any disk into the computer in xp, it doesn't come up with autoplay and there is not a dvd drive present in My Computer.

What can be the problem?

Thanks, but just what are the jumper settings and how would I check them? The dvd writer is ide i think (well the one with the then, wide, grey cable) --> My aunt's motherboard is not compatible with sata. In fact, I did buy a new dvd writer only to find that this was the case. Luckily my dvd writer at home was ide...

I am pretty sure that I plugged the ide cable in correctly, as I did double check it after windows didn't load autoplay and stuff...
