Solve : installing 2 cd rom drives?!?HELP?

Answer» PLEASE somebody tell me how to install a 2nd cd rom drive. I have 1 cd-rw and 1 cd drive. How do I install them both on the same computer?You don't give a LOT of info about your current set-up, but ASSUMING you only have a single hard drive in the PC, your best method is to set the CD's jumper to 'slave' and the CDRW jumper to 'master'.  Then, when you have mounted the drives in their slots, ATTACH the second connector on the cable which goes to your hard drive, to the CD, and attach the other cable from the CDRW to the second IDE port on the motherboard.  You will end up with your CD on the same, primary, IDE channel as the hard drive, and the CDRW on the secondary IDE channel, on its own.  If none of this makes sense then you will NEED someone to do it for you ;-)
