IDE problem

[Spud5437]

I cant have my hard drive and a DVD drive on an IDE cable. Dose anyone know why this might be? when ever i try to put one of my DVD drives on the same cable as my hard drive it wont detect it or the hard drive? i can hav both DVD drives on the other cable on problem. i wont not mater but i cant copy DVD's using NERO because of it, i get the message below when i go to copy and when it gets to 99% it says burning failed.

any idea's about how to solve this problem?

You need to have your HHD's on one cable and your dvd drives on the other. This will be a hassle free setup.

Yes, you generally have your hard drives on a seperate bus from your optical drives. That's how I also build my machines and I haven't encountered any problems like that.

tick never show these messages again and then click burn anyway.. that should work then.. if its not... er.. jumpers.. slave and master gotta be set right on the drives... or it wont work

Set the HD to master and the DVD to slave when connecting them to the same IDE.
