Cd/DVD drive on my HP laptop is not reading, I have replaced it with a supposedly good one and still no go. Is there something that would stop it from reading such as a bad ide channel or something? whats the best way to check it out? thanks :shrug:

Is it set to the proper Master/ Slave setting- according to where it is on the cable?
Mabey its a bad IDE cable?
Try plugging it in to the other IDE channel
Do you have another PC you could try it out on?

Could be possibly a bad IDE channel, look in your Device Manager, is it showing up as UDMA 2?
