i changed to new lg dvd-rw 20x speed one. i have a cd-rom also. wen i added my dvd-rw ,its not working when cd-rom is also connnected i.e.,if de ide cable is removed from cd-rom dvd-rw is workin but wen cd-rom is also connected only cd-rom is connected . i have formatted de full system .so no issues wid OS. PLZ SUGGEST A REMEDY
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 ?
no , i have connected hdd to primary ide n may be i have connected florry drive also to it n secondary ide to dvd-rw as master and cd-rom as slave. n this was working fine wid my old dvd-rw which i was using till last month .
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
