Pioneer BDR 205 not detecting in system

S

I am from Bangalore, My friend bought Pioneer Bluray Disc Drive BDR 205. I installed in my system i already have LG DVD RW so i am using both in SATA.

i don't know why still i am not able to see my poineer in my comp , is there any driver cd needed for this. my frd only gave this bluray drive.

any 1 please help me to resolve this.

Go to the BIOS & check the status read in the Sata Ports.

@Sathish:Check whether the sata cable that's connected to this drive is attached securely to your mobo's sata port or not,if necessary remove it and attach it firmly once again.The drive should be recognized in the bios and windows irrespective of whether the necessary drivers have been installed or not.Also ensure that the power cable is connected properly to the drive-its quite possible that the drive isn't functioning because its receiving no power.

There is no use of region code. So don't change it unnecessarily.
