I am having trouble installing a hard drive in conjunction with a DVD writer. Both are going to be installed in a new barebone cpu unit. I have the Maxtor hard drive set to be the master. And the Samsung Writemaster set to be the slave. However, when I power up the unit I can not get any power onto the DVD writer. But, whenever I unplug the IDE cable out of the DVD writer, it has power. I am referring to the DVD writer having power. I am unsure if the harddrive is receiving power in either instance.
Additional Info:
The barebone unit is manufactured by Shuttle. I have the IDE cable plugged into the blue port on the motherboard.
There is only one IDE cable being used.
The first IDE cable plug is plugged into the Maxtor HDD.
The second IDE cable plug (the one which extends from the first one) is plugged into the Samsung WriteMaster DVD writer.
