Hello I have a problem. I recently bought a pc with no cd rom attached. When I went to put in my cd burner, nothing happened. It doesnt detect my harddrive or the burner. When I disconnect my burner, the pc loads just fine. I am pretty new to this stuff, but ill tell you what i know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
