Pioneer OEM 106S DVD - system won't boot?!?!

Hello there,
I've just got my hands on the above DVD drive. Hooked it up at lunch time on IDE2 [sharing with an Aopen CDRW drive.
My problem is, the system won't boot whatsoever when the DVD is hooked up.
Yes I've tried switching between Master/Slave on both drives. I've even removed the CDRW drive completely, leaving just the DVD drive - and nothing.
Any ideas anyone???
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Can you list the other components in your system? From a first guess, I don't see how a drive could stop your pc from booting, so my guess is something with your BIOS. Does the drive power up? It should eject a disc once power is supplied to the drive. If not, you may have a bad drive.
