📎error_message.zip right theres the error message the driver i got from HP support along with all the others i have installed just checked the pins none of them are mashed in am going to see if thy show up in the boot menu

idk what how but its working all i did was go to the boot menu and it found it am going to hook up the 2nd one now then play supcom

Good that you are checking in BIOS to see if Optical Drives are being recognized. I'm going to guess that they are not. Best to set option to "Auto or Automatic" <– or something similar.

Scheesh! You must be a Wizard! Good going! Enjoy.
