Question

This is Dirty Farkie and you were kind enough to try and assist me with my dvd / cd player in my desktop. You indicated concern with the IDE connection and I feel you are right on the money. You recommended that I go to setup and check to see if the bios is enabled or not. How to I diagnose this. Where is set up and what am I looking for.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
