[Guest]

I am having a problem having one CD rom drive and one DVD/CD drives at the
same time. I installed the DVD/CD drive after having my CD drive but now the
computer only reads the DVD/CD drive and not my original CD drive. In the My
Computer window it only shows the DVD/CD drive. Please help. THANKS!!

How did you set the jumpers?

The DVD is master and the CD is slave if correct. If both
are master or one is master and one CS you will have
problems.

Also, did you check to see that the BIOS is set to enable
both drives on the IDE channels?
