One HD, 2 partitions as primary master.
One Tohsiba SD-M1612 DVD-ROM as secondary master, CD-RW as secondary slave.
*** Ive tried this on both a Lite-On and LG 52x24x52x.

Problem is this - when all these are plugged in, i cant burn from the secondary partition. Nero gives me some write error and it just stops. LG writes a little and gives me a coaster. the Lite-On doesnt write anything and i can still burn on that CD. When I disconnect the DVD-ROM everything burns great. WTF?! Im getting by without the DVD but I would like to use it if possible... Any ideas people?

Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2225MHz (12.5x178 @1.850v), Volcano 7 w/Smart Fan2, A7N8X Standard Rev. 1.06, Kingston HyperX PC3000 512MB @177MHz, Radeon 9700Pro, SB Live 5.1

Try putting the cd-rw as master and make sure you turn on DMA. Maybe your dvd-rom also doesn't like overclocking.
