Hi
I have an old DELL Dimension 8400, running WinXP Pro (SP3) . After 7 years, the motherboard battery was giving signs of running low ( 'battery low' messages on boot-up). I replaced it according to the instructions in the manual.... HOWEVER
On booting up I can no longer see my
D: (DVD Rom) drive
E: (DVD R/RW) drive
I have pushed and pulled the units to make sure they are making good contact - but no joy.
The other possibility is that I may have got wrong entering the 'System Setup" data incorrectly. (Currently "System Setup" options are either those I copied from the original setup instructions (prior to changing the batteries) OR they are 'default'.)
Which of the many setup options refer to the DVD drives, and what should they be set as? (My desktop has no floppy, only DVD drives)
Thanks for any pointers.
