Ughhhhh.

I hate my dad's computer.

Ok. It opens properly and stuff, the power is being supplied properly.

However, under My Computer, it isn't there, and autoplay doesn't function (obviously).

What the hells going on with this now?

Sweet mother of all things utterly moronic.

I decided to follow the IDE cable connected to the CD-RW - to see what it was connected to.

The answer?

Nothing.

Bloody hell.

There's this, and the Floppy drive. But it's the only CD drive.

Nope.

There's no sign of it, that I can see. Where should I look particularly as it boots up?

> Has the BIOS detected it?

How do I check this?
Look around the setup menu as it boots up (Del key at the beginning)?

Anyone any ideas?
This is kinda priority now, so we can try MoH, see if it works.
Ta.

:D

I've been wanting to do that for a long time.
The IDE cable is in, the power cable is in, everything's plugged in.
Bah, stupid thing.

I think the time has come.

Throw the computer out the window.
