Check which flate cable do you have for its connection. AOpen recommendation is for 80-wire ATA-66/100 cable. In case this is not the cable you have, you should replace it. (The ATA/66/100 IDE cable is made from 80-conductor wire with 40 pin connectors, providing the superior ground spacing required by the ATA/66/100 specs, and allowing the full 100 Mbps burst transfer rate). Another AOpen recommendation is to configur the unit as a "Master" and not as a slave. Good luck

My DVD Burner will not open but it shows a red light which leads me to believe that it works but there is a problem with how it is connect or maybe it is an internal problem.

Hi there, you should probably try to open the burner manually, to do so, usualy there is a small hole on the from that you should push with a pin and this will open the dvd. Sometimes the dvd can get stuck if it is not centered perfectly. Thanks.
