I am building a Sony Vaio PCV-RZ32G http://www2.dealtime.com/xPF-Sony-VAIO-Digital-Studio-PCV-RZ32G machine with Windows XP Pro OS (Not OEM) and can not get the disk drive to pick up the CD? The disk works as I have used it on other builds recently. The HD is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 and have attempted on the Master, Slave, and Cable select jumper settings. http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/manuals/ata/cuda7200pm.pdf I have pulled the on-board backup battery to reset the BIOS with no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Oh BTW these are PATA and have the following: 80G HD CD Drive CD-RW Drive Floppy Drive ********* Mod please delete *********
AZ, let me guess that you have a blank or black screen? Does your cmos/bios recognize all these drives? Need to know this first.
