Hi a friend has bought a dvd burner nto replace his broken cd burner but when he tries to start up pc he gets an error sayin somethin like `Boot disc error`, any ideas?? oh and he got no software with this burner as he got it from a pc repair shop

Cheers

It looks like the DVD burner is installed on the same cable as the hard disc. In the BIOS, set the hard disc as the first boot device, set the jumper of the hard disc as master and then set the jumper on the DVD burner as slave.

It could also be possible that upon fitting the DVD device that the hard disc cable has loosened so you can push them in firmly into the sockets.
