CD rom question

[Zalyen1000]

I just bought a DVD rom to go along with my current CD rom. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get my CD rom and DVD rom to run at the same time. I have it all hooked up. They both have power, but one of them dosnt read disks. Any help would be much appreciated. thx

You need to make on master and one slave. on the back side (where the power and ribbon cables go in) there should be like 6 pins with a cap on it. you need to make sure that cap is set to slave or master. someone else can explain better. i vaugly remember it.

If you have EIDE (1 to 2 plugs ribbon cable) the end is the primary and the first one is the slave.

the labels on the drives will tell you what to do.

FYI - the DVD-ROM reads CD's, so you dont need both, but thats your preference
