  If its SATA you need SATA drivers to install. Since the XP CD doesn't have the SATA drivers on it

  Unless you disable the AHCI in the BIOS. Or their wake.

  Enter the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup. If you have the option of Bios Setup to disable the native sata mode, XP will install without problem, no sata driver needed. It will be on the tab of the System Configuration.

  
  If you do not have the setting in the Bios, it's the driver sata for your machine:

• After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

  Original title: Signature Collision?

  I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

  Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

  Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

  I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you have done some before as is often
  the set of operations that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device.
  The driver tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then do a RIGHT CLICK
  the reader - UNINSTALL - REBOOT this will refresh the default driver stack. Even
  If the drive appears not to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, might
  having a cable loose or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and
  other questions.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check
  in both ends of the cables. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For portable computers, you can
  Often, clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system
  Designer and manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case
  (Read burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 pieces
  No function while others do so properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? He
  are some registry entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "might".
  be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and possible device for two firmware
  updates and the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive - sub
  the key of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific
  involved as well as the settings key.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• BIOS does not see the hard drive

  For my Presario 6620DK, I bought a Western Digital 160 GB PATA HARD drive, which I want to install instead of the original Samsung SV0602H 60 GB ATA-100.

  Unfortunately, bios does not see the new HD. If I'm on the old hard drive, it is recognized by the bios.

  I have the jumper in the right position for Cable Select.

  What do I have to get new HD work?

  Hi, Arne:

  There is the outside possiblilty of the drive is bad.

  You have another PC, you can test it in?

  You have a 120 GB of HARD drive, you can test in the PC?

  If she sees the 120 GB HARD drive and not 160 GB HARD drive, then you have your answer.

• Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

  Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios

  OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.

  The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

  This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

  Seems odd.

  The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.
