Hi guys,
Well J Gourdo was kind enough to give me a few drives and I finally installed one...
I took out my Audigy Platinum PCI and 5 1/2" deck to make room for the new DVDRW drive and after plugging it in and booting up.....The PC recognizes the new DVD Drive (Pioneer) but, now it doesn't see the other DVD drive (SONY) that I had already installed quite a ways back.

Do I need to have them on separate ribbons?
The Audigy was in chain with the SONY before and all worked fine....
I am sort of at a loss and could use some advice before I crack open the case again.....
any ideas?

Thanks ahead of time.
Joe
 
I don't have a dvd-rw, but if they're the same as a cd you can run both drives on one ribbon cable.

The first one should be set as master and the second as slave. There are jumpers on the backside of each drive.
 
cool man...thanks!
how do you set the master/slave switches?
