Oh, I thought you needed help SPELLING HELPP lol (sorry couldn't resist).
Give us some specs on your drive and the first thing I'd do is go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers.
I'd also make sure that it is listed in the bios and that it isn't sharing the "master" setting with your harddrive. FYI: each ribbon cable has 2 or more plugs on it so you can attach more than one drive to it. On your MOBO you will have 1 or 2 inputs for this cable (called IDE). You MUST have your CD ROM set to whatever the manufacturer says it should be. For eg: my LG drive says it must be set to master...so therefore I had to set my harddrive (which shares the same cable) to slave....(and no, I don't mean get out the flogger!)
You can change the master/slave settings with the jumpers on the back. The jumpers will look like little tiny flatten cubes with copper connecters inside. They "jump" between a set of pins on the back of the CD ROM. There should have been a diagram with the drive when you bought it. If you don't have the manual there usually is a diagram printed right on the drive or again, you can go to the manuf. website.
From the sounds of it this is most likely your problem. The CD ROM is conflicting with the hard drive.
If you only have 1 HDD on your pc, just connect the IDE cable to the other IDE input on your MOBO and you should be good to go. No more conflicts....
Disk
I believe there is software from LG that you can buy that's pretty good, works well and is only about $20.
I can safely store them for you. lol

i'm going to get a new cd this week see if it works if not i'll have to find a way to password protect themluv4lust said:lol how kind of you
Doesn't matter if you get a new cd or not, you'll still have to configure it properly in order for it to work.....
You never said if you tried my solution above or not....
i am a computer idiot lol truthfully i'm afraid to touch anything and i wont even try to do anything you posted cause i haven't got a clue what you meantboy said:
what is your cd/dvd creator ?luv4lust said:
are you talking about a piece of hardware or is it a software?
if it is a hardware why didn't you buy a plug-and-play external with USB port?
if it is a software, you may want to un-install it and re-install it properly or go to tools/options/configuration in your CD/DVD creator software and change the IRQ/DMA setting to something else... the blue screen you are referring to is a serious problem mainly cause by illegal sharing of resources i.e. IRQ/DMA what I mean is if for example you have an old sound card that by default uses IRQ# 7 and you install a hardware or a software that uses the same IRQ#7
then you have a sharing problem resulting in your PC to lock up or even get the blue screen...
the good news is with the new generation of plug-and-play hardware and software these problems are all gone ... so my guess is you must have an old system or a combination of old & new parts thus get it to someone who knows his stuff to install and configure them all for you . . .

Ok then, how did you get the cd rom installed to begin with? Someone somewhere had to unscrew the cover, mount the drive (no jokes please! lol), and plug in the IDE cable...
Buying another drive will not solve your problem. Like I said, you will still have to configure it....Buy it at best buy, I think they will install it for 10 bucks...
the burner came with the tower i got as a gift the person who gave it to me doesn't live in town i'll find some one to come in to fix it easier than running in a cab with a towertboy said:
