so, you have an existing CD-ROM & you added a DVD-RW, presumably all your drives are IDE, so, what devices are Master & Slave
primary IDE channel |- master = HDD |- slave = CD-ROM secondary IDE channel |- master = DVD-RW |- slave = not used is this how the devices are connected ?

that ok, try setting both IDE device on the secondary channel to S/CEL (cable select by moving the jumper that selects master / slave) & the device connected to the end connector will be master & the device on the middle IDE will be slave
personally i have all IDE devices set to C/SEL because the small jumper doesn't wear out by constantly changing a device from master to slave & vice versa if that also fails try it as primary slave
