Quick question,
what it the product name on your cdrw drive,
some cdrw drives will not work with anything on the same cable with

Re: CDRW Dead?
 

Hi all, put CDRW as master on ide 2. put DVD drive as slave to HDD on
ide 1. FANTASTIC, "Houston, we dont have a problem" Mind you, just
wondering why it was doing that. Any ideas on possible causes are
welcome. Thanks, Kev
