I/O Magic drive is really Toshiba SH-S182 - I need jumper help

I suppose you would need a SCSI cable with the correct number of pins that match your scsi ports. Some have 50 pins some have 80 pins and some have less than 50 pins. Count your pins and go from there. Have you ever done this procedure before? Did it work?

Which OS Service Pak is XP using? Have you tried to update the drivers? ' System ' Hardware ' Device Mgr
Can you test the burner on a 2nd PC? My older PC's dont see the DVD-RW but the burning software does.

You can find you driver here :

at the rear of the drive Then you will find The Three pairs of pine
(From left to right)
SC, SL, Masters

change jumper to master.

dont need any drivers to install drive to work

First look and see the write speed of the drive. 1x to 4x is slow but recommended by all programs and this is initially the default settings for most programs. You must goto the settings of your dvd burning program and set the burn rate to 16x or higher.

Yes

All optical drives use ATAPI drivers, these drivers are native to Windows. Physically install the DVD player and it will be recognised, depending on what type of CD and DVD burning software you have your drive may not be recognised by them.
OEM burning software will only work with the optical drive it was supplied with, retail burning software should work with any drive.

If the drive is "Master" (the first drive in cable line installed) then the jumper goes to "MA", if it is a "SLAVE" connected drive then the jumper goes to "SL".

before anything else.. your computer must not be plugged in
have some screw drivers ready

open the case
remove the connections of your old cd/dvd-rom
remove the screws
remove the drive from the bay

replace it with your new dvd writer
replace the connections and the screws
put everything else back
then turn on your system :D
