Most common problem is the "jumper" setting is wrong. You can do several things. Some you may already have done, but check it any way. 1. make sure the SATA cables are completely plugged in correctly. Power is plugged in. 2. Check the "jumper" on the back of the burner. Should be in "Slave" position even though the manual doesn't say it, it says "Master/Slave". 3. Go into "control panel", then to "system" then to "Hardware". Check to see if you have a "yellow !" for CD devices. If you do click on it and remove it. Close all windows and "restart". That should fix it. If it doesn't, check the "compatability" of the Motherboard per Samsungs website. Some mother boards are just not compatible. Might not hurt to check that first before you do anything else.
