LaCie internal DVD d2 driver not recognized in finder

[sayko]

Replaced original internal Yamaha CD RW unit with the subject drive in a Power Mac G4 MDD dual 1.25 Mhz. The new unit's tray will eject by pressing the lower right hand button but is not acknowledged in the Finder. LaCie support asks me to make sure the jumper is set properly. What jumper? Installation involves a power and ribbon cable only. As best as I can make out, it must be a software conflict. Does anybody have any opinions as to a solution.

By the way, I've been a Mac user for over 15 years and enjoyed every minute. The G4 Mac is a fantastic machine.

Thanx.

The "jumpers" will be located in the back of the DVD drive. See this picture of jumpers: http://www.cheapcomputersandparts.com/Images/Parts/HardDrive-Jumper.jpg

You will want to set the DVD burner as master, unless you have another drive (set as master).

The jumper setting for master should be on the dvd drive, or in a manual for it.

Just when you figure you know a fair amount of stuff, along comes something that says you still got stuff to learn.

My sincere thanks to Craig for his input. Placing the jumper in the slave position resolved the issue and the drive works as it should.
