It should show up in the POST screen.

Go into the bios, and change it to show the POST screen, instead of a logo,
If you need to.

This is the first indicator.
If it shows up, then you might have a problem with windows.
more on that...
but if it doesn't show up in POST,

unhook it, reboot, all the way up. then shut down,
reinstall it CAREFULLY, make sure the cable is done cleanly, and correctly.
then try a reboot and look for it on the POST screen again.

No show, try as new cable, or plug it into a different drive cable and reboot
just to see if it shows up in POST at all again.
No show : the thing is probably dead somehow. you're done,
you need a replacement.

If it shows up in post:

Check the device manager from the control panel. its under "system".

You might see the thing sticking out with a yellow triangle with a ! in it in drives.

That will be a software issue.

you could remove that item and reboot and let windows try to detect it.

Then you need the proper driver, since its a burner.

Go to the Samsung website, know the correct model number,
and get the driver for it.
install the driver, obviously.

Something up there should get it done.

Good luck.

Check to see if your device manager is seeing the CD and DVD drives if not then apply this FIX

You will need to reboot your PC it will then reinstall the drivers if they are missing.

If device manage does see the drives it can't hurt appliying this reg tweak if this fails then your drive is on its way out.

Rotating drives both Optical and Magnetic are always the first to go on a PC this includes the Processor and PSU fans as well !!

You need to boot with your windows vista cd and select repair install. This will reinstall the windows files, including the ntldr file, leaving your data intact. Make sure you only do the repair install, if you do the full install, it may wipe your data.

Thanks and please take a moment to rate as fixya.
