BleepingComputer.com: Need help with CD R drive installation

I just installed a CD R drive into my old computer.
(My motherboard fried on my new one so I am stuck with this PC)
Anyway, this computer is really old, Pentium 2, and didn't have a CD R drive. So I want to burn some videos and music to disk.

I took my old Aopen CRW5232/ARR CD R from another old PC and put it into this one. I did the proper installation making this drive slave as the other is master and used the right connectors. I then turned by computer on and went to the BIOS and turned the drive slot from "None" to "Auto." Nothing showed up there. I then rebooted again and let windows load. But no new drive was detected. I don't have an installation disk for the drive and I don't think it came with one.

I made sure it worked. I pressed open and it opened fine. Can I go ahead and burn stuff now, or do I have to make sure windows is detecting the drive before i do so.

I am using Windows XP pro on a P2 processor and the drive in question specs can be found here: Aop CDW5232/ARR

Any help would be appreciated.

Opem My Computer.
If the drive shows there you should be good to go.

No, It's does not show there. Nor does it show up in Device manager.

If the original CD drive [Master] shows in My Computer
Remove the burner.set the jumper to CS [Cable Select]
Reinstall it
See if it works.

While you have it out inspect the pins for the ribbon cable & make sure none are bent.

Pins were ok. But that solved my problem. Thank you fair joe blue
