silent_death911 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yes, I searched the forums. I can't find {censored} on this subject. So, I'm posting my own. I have OSx10.4.10 running at the moment and everything is just fine and dandy minus the fact that I cannot have the computer recgonize my DVD burner. It is a generic Lite-On-Type drive that works fully. Recgonized in the BIOS, Windows, everything. Problem is once I get up in Mac, it loses its affinity toward it. If my IDE configuration is something you need to know, here it is. IDE 1 DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive - Seen by Mac DVD-RW Drive - Cannot be seen by Mac IDE 2 80GB (XP/Vista Dual Boot Drive) 300GB (Storage) SATA 1 160GB (Gaming Drive) SATA 2 80GB (Mac Boot Drive) SATA 3 320GB (Storage) Any idea why it can't see the DVD-RW? Any suggestions or commentary would be useful. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Not sure how OS X likes 2 Opticals on 1 IDE. Are they correctly Master/ Slave set? You could swap out the IDE storage with the DVD drive (cables allowing) to see if this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent_death911 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Very good. I tried that but I got no dice. But, I did switch the two drives around the Master/Slave config and for some odd reason both ended up showing up. I checked all my jumpers before but all I got was the DVD/CD-RW but just switching them around got me both the DVD-RW and the DVD/CD-RW. Weird, but I'll take it. Thanks.
