If you are connecting your IDE CD drive while your computer is on, you shouldn't do that. If your computer doesn't run right with an IDE CD drive connected make sure you have it strapped properly. If it is on its own IDE cable strap it for master, if it is on the same IDE cable as an IDE hard drive strap it for slave and the hard drive for master.
