My old CD-RW drive used to be D:. After install of new Plextor PX-716 DVD,
DVD shows as D: and CD-RW shows as E: in My Computer. Retrospect won't
recognize DVD drive unless I put a CD in it. DVD jumper is set as master at
end of secondary IDE port cable. CD drive is jumpered as slave on middle IDE
connector. Using new 80 wire cable that came with drive. Running XP SP1 on
Intel 845PESV board.
BTW without media in DVD, My Computer window shows DVD-RW Drive (D If I
put in a blank DVD+R, it changes to CD Drive (D
Also, is it bad speedwise to have a CD and DVD drive on the secondary port?
Would appreciate any advice. Thank you!
