I just tried to add a disk drive, but i must have done something wrong...I already had one, and was just adding a second...So i put it all in fine..then started up computer..they both opened but neither worked when i put the disk in...So i took the new disk drive out..and started again but the original disk drive still isnt reading disks...
 
What kind of disk drive? CD or HDD?
And what do you mean didn't work?

Can you be less vague please?
 
If it is a cd/dvd drive you have added then you probably need to set one as master and one as slave

they are the jumpers if you are confused , one of them needs to be set as master and the other as slave , it dosent matter which one is which , same for hard drives as well
 
like they said make sure it is set right, make sure IDE cable isn't bad, and als d oyou have enough power?
