I cant get my teac 12x burner and my Afreey DVD to work in a master slave setup.

They both show up fine under the bios and post, but when it goes into windows the burner always dissappears. So when i diconnect teh DVD the burner works fine. What the hell is going on?

Do you have the jumpers on the cd's set correctly? Have you tried disabling UDMA in the bios on one or both drives? Do you have your chipset drivers installed correctly?

Yeah the jumpers are set correctly, and they show up fine under the bios as a master slave setup. Ill check that udman thing. One thing i am guessin is perhaps theres a problem because im using a udma66 cable? any ideas?

using an ATA66 cable shouldn't make a difference, except for maybe a cleaner signal (less crosstalk). The device you have jumpered as master is on the end of the cable and the device you have jumpered as slave is in the middle, right? With the ATA66 cable you could try setting both for cable select. But with your bios seeing both drives it's probably just windows getting confused. I've seen the problem you're having mostly with people who have an SBLive, but you don't have one. I read somewhere that this can happen because windows re-assigns an IRQ to a device from what the bios set it up with and another peice of hardware gets bumped, usually a cdrom. It happened with me on both my KT7-RAID and 8K7A+, I just moved my cards around until the drive showed up in device manager.

some drives require you to insert a little cap over the master/slave pins on the back of the drive right next to the IDE hook up. You might try inserting the little cap on the slave drive in the slave slot.
