    Also make sure the Power and the ribbon cables are plugged into it. Open the case and make sure you see the cables plugged in, might have come loose, or someone thought it would be funny to undo them as a joke.

    IF the are plugged in and still nothing, it is more than likely dead, go to the store and buy another and just replace the cables.

    several candidates

    most likely/cheapest is that the drive is disconected.
    next would be that the drive is dead
    next would be that the ribbon conector is dead
    and th final possibility is that the pat of the power supply going to the drive is dead.

    if the moelex power connector is attached to the drive, then you should be able to open/close the drive by pressing the little button thigny on the drive. you should also hear the drive spinning. such would rule out the power supply being f'ed. next thing would be to check to see if the ribbon is in it/works. final stepw oudl eb to check if getting a new drive does anything.

    That means theres an error with the hardware. Open the properties screen of them, and it should tell you the error.

    It means what it says, there is a missing driver. Give me 10 or 15 minutes, and I'll get them for you.
