    Windows ME - CD R/RW
    Objective... 1) get jpeg's off HDD to CD 2) change OS from Win ME to Win 98 by formatting HD.

    - My daughter's PC, can't believe IBM 20 gig with no way to burn a CD. Has only a CD ROM - I installed an internal CD/RW - both drives are connected.

    :-/ New CD drive will read and write from NERO but I can't drag and drop from Windows Explorer to CD Drive - error message "no disk in drive".

    - Using NERO software, (never used Nero) - tried twice changing all drop down arrows to "Jpeg" format - Nero writes .dat file extension in burning operation.

    NOW OS:
    - Getting on Internet is a trick, server says it's OS problem. - Tried to restore OS using recovery disk - inserted and I boot up - doesn't work - I go straight to the desktop. (again not seeing the CD drive and I tried both CD drives)

    - Installed all updates for Win ME. Still cannot recover and no change getting on internet.

    Tried booting up in safe mode, gives me the help menu - dumb. Cannot get to the Bios either. Would it help to go to DOS and format the HD? (after pics removed)

    What am I not seeing here? Going in circles.
    How do I get the CD drive to work (at least drag and drop) and change her OS?

    Thank you... Any help would be appreciated.

    You need to switch the jumper on the cd/rw to make it the master drive and the other one as the slave drive you cannot have to master cd drives the jumper are on the back next to the cabeling
