my set up is a dvd-rom on top which i want as the main drive..and an hp 9100 on bottom which i want as a 2nd drive..i lost the soft ware but i'm pretty sure my computer already has all the drivers needed to use it....after connecting it correctly...neither drive shows up in my computer yet both have power..i think i must have done something wrong with the jumpers..

any help would be great,

Mike

You mean you haven't set up which is the MASTER and which is the SLAVE?

Check the back of the drives. They should clearly mark which pins need to be jumped for the master and slave settings.

Your DVD would be the master I assume since it is your main drive on that cable. And your CDRW would be slave.
