dvd burner installation

[dionx]

i'm having trouble getting my new dvd burner to get recognized by the computer.

the dvd burner is the Pioneer DVR-108.

other specs of the computer is:

Asus A7N8X 2.0 Deluxe motherboard
Western Digital Raptor 74G on SATA
Maxtor 160GB on Primary IDE, Master
Samsung CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo on Secondary IDE, Master
Pioneer DVD burner on Secondary IDE, Slave

everything IDE is connected with ATA/133 rounded cables. i go into the bios to have it auto detect IDE drives, but it isnt detecting the dvd burner.

is there something i should do such as changing jumpers from master/slave to both cable select. and how does cable select really work? it's not like either drive came with the rounded cable i'm using yet it's working for my combo drive and harddrive

Set the Pioneer jumper to Master, unconnect the Samsung, connect the Pioneer as 2ndary Master. If you have any flat cable, use that instead of the rounded cable for the Pioneer and see what happens.

just got it fixed. unplugged everything, moved both drives jumpers to cable select, hooked it back up and now everything works. i still just used the rounded cables
