Newbie needs major help

[Guest]

OK. I admit it. I messed up and hopefully someone can help me get this back
to the way it was. I was fortunate enough to come across a PC that a buddy of
mine was getting rid of for parts. I thought I would add a 2nd hard drive to
my system but the drive was WAY too small ( only 1.9Gb. ) I decided to just
remove it. When I did however I lost BOTH my DVD-ROM and my DVD Burner. I
have been going crazy trying to figure out how to get them back. I even went
into the BIOS settings of the PC but that is confusing me also. It only shows
my hard drive and no other drives on BIOS at all.

Turn off and unplug the computer. Open the case. Reseat the ribbon
cables and power supply connectors going to the optical drives. Check
that jumpering on all drives is correct.
