Since installing the MagicDVD 16X drive my system will not boot, what could be
causing this?
Make sure you have the IDE cable connected properly. Align pin one on both ends and
make sure that all the pins go into the IDE connector (red strip to pin-1). Also make
sure you have the CD-ROM master and slave jumper set appropriate.
My MagicDVD Drive is not found by Windows 95/98. What is the problem?
If you are connecting the CD-ROM drive to the motherboard, read this:
Make sure that there are no conflicts, both Primary and Secondary IDE controllers are
present and without yellow exclamations marks. To check the status of your IDE
controllers, click on the Start button > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device
Manager (under the Hard Disk Controllers category). Yellow exclamation marks on the
IDE controllers mean that the device is not working properly, not install properly or
may have a resource conflict with another device. Some retail version of Windows
98/95 may not recognize some of the IDE controllers. This can result in IDE devices
(such as CD-ROM drives) not being detected or disappearing from the PC.
There are several ways to correct the problems.
If the Primary or Secondary IDE controllers are not present, read this:
Your controllers are not set-up properly and you need to get a patch from your
motherboard manufacture or check your BIOS set-up and make sure that both
onboard IDE controllers are enable. Visit our web site (www.iomagic.com) for
additional help.
