how to use artec dvd r/wr drive?

[unknown]

I have quick question, I have a artec dvd burner, but for some odd reason it does not work, my computer recognizes that its connected, but it does not read any type of disk, my computer also tells me that the drive is not ready, even though my computer states (that the device is working properly), nero is installed on my computer, but it doesn't help anything, how do fix this problem?

what system specs do you have?

also check the jumper settings on the back of the drive

does it have to be set to master or slave?

It depends where you installed it.
End of the cable = master.
Middle of the cable = slave (with another device connected to the end as master).

Its in the middle with the dvd rom drive as master and dvd r set at slave.

what model is the dvd burner? first off when you buy a optical drive

first thing i would do is update the firmware, then double check the bios to make sure its going into DMA mode and also check in windows for DMA mode

I thought so, I just downloaded an undate firmware and boot disk tool.
