Dear Experts, I have connected an internal LG GSA 4163B DVD Writer to my Lenovo Netbook via an IDE to USB cable 2 days ago. Although I could get a new E: drive, a message always popped up complaining no CD was found even if I just inserted a video / music CD into the DVD Writer. Any idea what's went wrong? Looking forward to receiving your advices or suggestions soon. Thanks a lot.

DVD wont recognise disc

If your DVD drive don't show up in device manager and if there's no yellow exclamation mark in device manager, try to check IDE or SATA cable connection from your DVD drive to the motherboard. Also check the cable itself (are the wires inside broken?)

The jumper combination for a slave drive on an LG GSA-4163B

Most CD/DVD drives have a label showing the jumper setting for Master (MA), Slave (SL)and Cable Select (CS).
You only need a single jumper and it is inserted in a vertical position.
There are a group of 6 pins (3 columns of 2 pins) next to the 40 pin IDE connector.
The Slave setting is usually the middle set of pins.
