External DVD/CD ROM USB No Joy
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2008 8:05 am
I have 2 desk tops. I tried to use my external dvd/cd rw rom i/o magic 16x via usb but neither would respond to it with the UBCD in it. I made sure to make the hdd last in BIOS. it's a UBCD that I ordered last week so it came ready to use and properly prepared. Also per UBCD faq disable quick booting in BIOS. One of the computers does have an internal cd-rom and it will work on that.
According to i/o magic's faq for their external dvd/cd rom, "There are no drivers necessary. All of our optical drives use default Windows drivers and in the properties of Windows it will list the drive as a CD-ROM." Not sure if that means it won't work using as a boot only with no os though. Any ideas?
