the problem i have replaced my knackered dvd/cd drive with identical model no,[uj-820b] which i purchased from ebay.when booted no ide error appears, then windows loads but no drive shown in my comp, nor in device manager.then i check bios there it is detected.if i put into standby mode drive then can be seen in my comp and device manager, and can be used. checked for firmware no luck could this be the master/slave prob, and will i have to revert to shorting pins 45 and 47 to allow a bootable drive.......please advise.
