what brand CD Burner, is it new or used?

Do you have the Power connector plugged in to it, are you sure the jumpers on the Burner are set to slave and the jumper on the CD-ROM is set to master?

Are you sure the Cable is in the correct position with the red stripe on Pin # 1

i am kinda new to this and the burner is internal so how would i check the jumpers and stuff???

jumpers are on the Back of the drives

take the burner drive out and look on the back of it, there are jumpers back there, look in the manual it should explain where to put them for slave, it might also say it on the drive itself around the jumper area

i would check to make sure that the ide cable didn't go bad or that you didn't have it half of the way cause you can realy damage them that way i watched my buddy do it he burned out 2 of them good thing he kept the recipt
