What OS are you using? I tried to install a CDRW in a machine using Win 98 to replace an inoperable CD and it couldn't be done because you need an operable CD drive to install the remote drive with Win 98. Newer versions of MS have the drivers available on the Web, but not Win 98. I had to take the machine in for repair and spend twice as much as the remote drive to have them fix it propoerly.

It's Win98, but the drive works for other functions, just not for this recovery.

I've just realized that perhaps since the D: is the master and E: is the slave, that for the recovery it may want to use the master...?

Unfortunately, the D: makes the machine crash.

Perhaps I should uninstall the new drive and set the original CD back to master and try again?
