Ok, I've been banging my head against the wall all day with this one....
I have a Sony DVD/ROM on my IDE #2 set as Master. I have tried 2 CD Drives and a CD-R as the slave drive and XP cant see them as well as the Sony during boot up. Unplugging the cable from drive #2 brings back the Sony as the Master. I have tried both the Master and Slave jumpers as well as using the cable select jumper without success. Is there a problem with using a DVD and a CD drive on one cable? I never heard of one but maybe I'm missing something. I have 2 machines with CD drives on one ribbon so I know that works. Putting either the DVD or the CD on the IDE #1 is not really an option as it is a HTPC case (Accent) and I don't quite have the cable to make the stretch.
Suggestions? I have a ASUS PB4 MB, SB audigy2,Radeon 9000 Pro,Maxtor HD on IDE #1. I don't really think this hardware is the issue though. I would like to have this squared away before my cables come Friday....
Thanks!
