Re: PC won't recognize DVD drive

All right. Thanks for the help Mamba and Toto.

I can't update the BIOS because I can't download the update. "connection with server could not be established." Even if I could I don't think it would do any good. It is the same version that I already have. The only difference is my version has a date of 2001 while the update is from March '02. (Is my machine just too old?)


I can't install firmware for the device because it doesn't show up anywhere but the device manager.

So, feeling brave, I tried to put the Benq into my PC tower. I couldn't get the original drive out of the box. I think I could have if I would take the motherboard out but I'm not going to chance it. It did seem like it may be possible to take the front off of the tower, which would be perfect I think, but it was getting late and I gave up.

So I guess I could take it to Best Buy but I should be able to switch a damn drive, right?
