Its cd brken and it is not recognized in hard ware

Hard ware(Printers): which you can touch in printer, like operational panel, cartridge, print heads,cables,trays etc,,
Internal hard ware(printers): Gears,RAM, Formatter, DC board,hard disc, CD's, fan,mechanical parts etc..,
Software(printers): Drivers, instruction codes, programmings etc..

No dont see it doing that cd/dvd and hard drives both seta and peta ares still all IDE devices so try to find it in your bios set up . but for "normal" install it should auto install the device firm ware and be visible in my computer as a removable mass storage devise

Torrent.com should have it for you to download

It is possible that when psu shorted it shorted part of the mother board. Try going into device manager right on the cd-rom in the list and choose search for new hard ware in the drop down menu. If this doesn't work go back into device manager right click the cd-rom and uninstall the cd-rom and reboot the pc. If it does not auto find the cd-rom that way, the mother board is probably messed up. Oh yeah try unplugging the ribbon cable for the cd-rom from the mother board and plug it back in also.

check ur hard ware connections, scan ur pc registry with reg in out and go to device manager and check for troubleshoot

You can try installing the Western digital smart ware via the CD provided with the drives or the Western Digital site. In many cases, this will allow older computers to recognize the drive;

some things coming to my mind are
1) the hard drive doesnt have mac partitions
2)the hard drive is not correctly formatted
3)the rom chip on the pcb lost information
4) the drive corrupted one of its firm ware modules usually the ata module.
if you cant solve this problem pm me.

This can be complicated. You need to check the bios to see if the hard drive and dvd are being recognized by the POST and the Bios. Once into the bios check the boot order and make sure that the order of the drives is your main CD/DVD drive and then your main hard drive first.

Let me know if I can help further

its either yr hard ware is bad or that the drivers have not been installed. if u r using windows NT,XP then yr cd/dvd player is bad cos xp should installed most cd rom drives.
thank u

What burning software are you trying to use? Also, try uninstalling and reinstalling the hardware from Device Manager
