Windows XP Hardware >> Re: Installed Pioneer DVD R Rw, lost my DVD Rom Thanks Cari
You are probably correct, Do you know how I can seperate them? I have them linked on the same IDE ( ithinks that's what it is) cable as there is only one slot on the motherboard, the end of the cable is in the DVD Rom and then a second connector is in the DVD R Rw, then a smaller cable goes from the DVD Rom to the motherboard, I think for the sound. should there be another cable from the DVD RW do you think? The power connectors are on the same leads also

on boot up there is only one of them showing as the master and there is no slave

your help is much appreciated

cheers
Chris

Check the jumpers at the rear of the drive... sounds like you have both set
as master or both set as slave.

Windows XP Hardware >> Re: Installed Pioneer DVD R Rw, lost my DVD Rom you can have dvdrom and a writer on the same ide cable to
ide 1 or 2. the previous answer is a slave and master
prolem. windows needs to see a master on boot up.
