186857 2003-10-26 20:37:00 hi, i have just added a dvd-r to my system which also includes 1 cdr and 2x 40gb hard drives.
i have set the dvd to master and the cdr to slave. both devices appear in device manager and both appear to be working however i can only get one of the optical drives to appear in my computer. at boot up my primary master is hdd, primary slave hdd, secondary master dvd-r ansd secondary slave as cdr. should i have one optical drive on each channel?
any help appreciated
thanx

186859 2003-10-26 21:48:00 You might want to play around with the Jumpers on the back of both Drives, as that is where most Optical Drive upgrades go wrong.

Try changing so the other is the master... And try not to use CS (Cable Select).
