Hi all,

     I just want to ask  what's wrong with my computer, I'm not entrely sure if my mobo or dvd rive has a problem. I was planning to reformat my pc . So, I change my dvd drive to primary boot at the bois set-up, It doesn't detect my windows xp home edition.  I try to look at the bios set-up and my dvd drive is detected. by the way i'm using windows xp home edition sp2.

     I tested my dvd to other pc and it's workign fine, it is detected when change to primary boot at the bios set-up. Any ideas whats wrong? please help. thanks

Try changing the data wire of dvd drive may that provide a solution to your problem.
