Sounds like maybe both drives are jumpered "master" or
both are jumpered "slave". On the back of each drive near
the IDE interface there should be three sets of 2 vertical
pins. There should also be a legend of some type
indicating MA (master) or SL (slave) or something
similar. Two IDE devices that occupy the same bus must
have different jumper settings to work correctly, one set
to master, the other to slave.
Good Luck !

>I recently installed a Memorex CD-RW drive to replace the
original CDRW that came with my computer. I also have the
original DVD drive installed. When I connect the IDE
cable to only the CD, XP recognizes it. However, when
both the DVD and Cd rives are connected, XP does not read
either one. All software has been installed. I've tried
the original IDE cable and the new one that came with the
CDRW, same problem every time. Can anyone lend a
suggestion?
