Troubleshooting: V2 Premier Computer Not Recognizing CD-ROM Drive

If your V2 Premier desktop computer is not recognizing your CD-ROM drive, you have the jumper on the CD-ROM set incorrectly. Desktop computers use a master/slave system that determines the order in which drives are accessed. If your hard drive is listed as master, and your CD-ROM is also listed as master, your V2 Premier desktop computer will not recognize the CD-ROM drive. You can fix this problem by correctly setting the jumper on the CD-ROM drive.

Instructions

• 1

  Turn off your V2 Premier computer and remove the power cord.

• 2

  Remove the side of your computer case by removing the screws that secure it.

• 3

  Remove the small plastic jumper from your CD-ROM drive. The jumper will be located in the middle of your CD-ROM drive.

• 4

  Place the jumper on the two pins located in the middle of the jumper connections. The jumper should fit vertically across these two pins.

• 5

  Replace the side of your case and your power cable.

• 6

  Turn on your computer and confirm the CD-ROM drive is recognized.
