curently got a old slow LG cd-r/dvd drive, and now got a 2nd hand better/faster samsung cd-r/dvd drive of a freind, plugged it all in as to my old one and put the jumper pin on the "csm" to "A" like on my old one but what is this??

anyway, windows xp sp2 detected it and installed it and said ready to use, and in device manager it says its fine... when i put in ANY cd with music or files on it etc it says its blank?????

C S M stands for Cable Select, Slave or Master, A i assume means auto

if xp has picked it up it wont be to do with that.

Do you have any roxio software as this can be a bugger, try removing that if you do

set your drive to master if its on its own cable, if its sharing with somthing else check if its master or slave, then set yours to the other. cable select is ye oldy style.
