Hi SW-212B & Wayniac i have tried the the writer as a slave & a master. And have checked the jumpers on both the drives which seem to be ok. But thanks for your suggestions though i appreciate your help {8) but each time i connect the writer & search for the drive in the bios it just comes up with not installed on both by Hard drives & cd-writer & dvd-drive. but if i remove the CD-writer everything else is detected ok the hard drives are then found & the dvd-rom drive is found also. My motherboard just tells me each time i connect the CD-writer & try and boot the system that the ATAPI is incompatible. This incompatible ATAPI then knocks out my hard drives & DVD-Rom drive. The Ricoh Manual says that if i get this problem during the installation i should download some new IDE drivers from my motherboards website to which i have tried the latest IDE drivers on the gigabyte website that is supposed to be for my motherboard but these have no effect. I have also tried contacting gigabyte but no reply 8( Does any know where to find some new IDE drives for the my motherboard ( Gigabyte GA-8TM ) as gigabyte are useless with there tech support. Thanks again for all your time and any help you can give me to help solve this problem.
