Why is it that something can work so well and then, suddenly, not work AT ALL? I have some things to post, but I've been dealing with stupid computer problems so I haven't gotten to them. No, my computer issues do not cause me to not be able to blog. It's just that I've been spending a lot of time trying to make my computer work right. I've been too frustrated with it to get to anything else.
If you want to know what the problem is, here's the basic synopsis:
I had a CD burner and a DVD drive, both worked fine until a month ago when I needed to burn a whole bunch of CDs and my CD burner stopped working. The DVD drive still worked fine.
A few days ago Ray put a new CD burner in my computer -- same brand of drive, just newer, put it in the same spot with the same connections. The CD burner works great. The DVD drive is no longer recognized by the computer.
If I unplug the CD burner the DVD drive will work. Apparently I can only have one or the other. I have tried everything I can think of. AAARGHHHHH!!!!!!
So, now that I have given up on having both drives, perhaps I can get caught up on my blog. :-)

did he set it up as the slave? because if it is set as the master and the dvd drive is set as the master too, then one of them wont be recognized. idk, just an idea :)
Brenda,
You are brilliant! That was the problem. Thanks.
