IDE Bus conflict - can't burn CD's - help

Howdy,
I just bought my first cdrw, its the popular Liteon 16x model. I can successfully write data from HDD to CDR. But heres the problem:

When trying to burn an Audio Cd 'on the fly' within Nero 5.0, I get the following message:

"Warning...something or other...there is an IDE Bus Conflict. Both devices are sharing the same controller...something or other...you may experience problems, are you sure you want to continue?"

Its coaster heaven from here on out.

Neither the LiteOn CDRW or the Pioneer 16x DVD player has DMA enabled. Should i enable Direct Memory Access on one of these devices? Is there a way to assign a IDE controller within win98.

The second IDE cable is set to an Master - Slave relationship, Pioneer - LiteOn respectively.

I hope this is enough information, I'm not @ home right now.

My rig:

Epox 8k7A
256 DDR Crucial
WD 40 GIG Cavier
Kyro II
Creative Labs 56k Modem Blaster PCI
3com NIC (just in case) PCI
Sound Blaster Live Value PCI
Win98 2nd

Nero 5.0

That is your problem right there. You should set either the Pioneer or LiteOn as a slave to the HD on the primary and put the remaining drive as master on the secondary.

Also enable DMA on both drives.

I believe with the SB Live sound card you have to disable Dos Emulation otherwise you will only be able to get DMA enabled for one of the drives and not the other.

(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here but that's the only way I was able to enable DMA on both my drives on an Asus A7V)
