cd/dvd not working

14
I have a Dell X300 Laptop which has a docking station including the CD/DVD Drive. The machine does not locate the CD/DVD drive hence I am unable to view client supplied comms materials on CD. How do i make the cd/dvd drive on the docking staion work?

Can you see anything in Device Manager? Have you tried manually loading the drivers for it?

hi,

is it the first time you are going to install the CD/DVD Drive? then, try to check the jumper settings it might have conflict with your Hard Drive.

One should be master and the other one is the slave.

regards.

Make sure other devices work on the docking station, try the usb mice, keyboard, network and sound, if all of those work try unplugging and plugging the dvd drive. Let us know what happens, there might be a device driver off the dell website you will need, if so find the service tag under the docking station and PM it to me so I can look it up.

Good Luck!
