Hi,
I am new to this forum so please bear with me.
I have a F-S Amilo LI1818 notebook with Vista installed and wanted to create a dual boot with XP ( as I prefer this OS ).....
I have a Windows XP PRO disk, so I used NLite to create a new XP cd (to include SATA drivers, as no hard drives could be seen initially when I tried to load this).
I then used Easy BCD as a bootloader (with success), and I can now boot into Vista or XP on start up, which is great.......
However......... the big issue I do have now is that I cannot see my CD/DVD-Rom drive in XP (Optiarc DVD RW AD-7540A ATA Device), it has now totally disappeared within XP, and I can't therefore load any software, play games, or burn cd's, dvd's etc... in XP which is really frustrating.
Any ideas as to how I can try and retrieve my missing cd-rom drive in XP please, it is still there in Vista, and I have looked for some drivers for this, but having no joy whatsoever.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated....
Kind Regards.....
Sean !!!
