The broken GD-Rom drive in question belonged to George, and it was giving the error message “Cannot Access GD Rom Drive”. If you have got a GD-Rom drive giving you an error message “Cannot Detect GD Rom Drive” and you are 100% sure that you have checked all connections, then I’m afraid that this guide can’t help you as you need a rare and expensive part which unfortunately, is not part of a Dreamcast. The good news is that depending on the error code that your GD Rom system is giving you, repairing the drive using cannibalised Dreamcast’s are a real and cheaper possibility. However, purchasing a new GD-Rom drive unit costs about $160USD which works out to be a tinsy bit more than buying 5 or so second hand Dreamcast’s. The Sega Naomi, Naomi 2, Chihiro and Tri-Force all employ the same drive used by the Sega Dreamcast.
