button to see if the tray opens and closes.

Is the IDE cable connected properly? Be careful to turn off and unplug your 
computer system before checking this item. Check the connection by your 
opening computer system to see if the IDE connector well inserted and the 
colored stripe on the side of the IDE cable lines up with PIN-1 of each

green, it is ready for access.

If the disc you just loaded is a blank CD disc, try it later after copying some 
information to the CD.
