New DVD-RW drive made my Lite-ON Combo drive not work

[KSoD]

Okay the Lite on should be the Slave. That is the one on top. The Pioneer should be Master. Now with the IDE Cable you will see you have 3 connectors. There are 2 close together and 1 further away. With the one end that has the 2 close together plug that end into the motherboard. The next connection is for the Pioneer. The last one (furthest away) is for the Lite On drive.

That is how the setup should be. Along with the jumper settings that i have already discussed should allow for both to be used in your system.
