problems with 451S- Help

Lite ON LDW-451S DVD Burner

I just installed this drive this morning. Set is as Master on Seondary. This is my setup.

Windows XP SP1 Pro
Prim-Master- WD 120 gb
Secon-Master- LDW-451S

Additional IDE card
Prim master-Lite on CD burner
Secon-Master Lite ON DVD rom

tried using different cables, known good cables, it hangs up on Windows XP screen with bar moving across and stops there.
Took it out of Seconday and move to IDE card as prim master then move to secon master. Same thing. Tried good cables as always. It does not want to boot. One thing i noticed is if i do it in safe mode. It hangs on mup.sys.

Any ideas?


Board: Abit KX7-333 latest bios
Athlon 2400 xp
1 gig pc2700
audigy 2
Radeon 9700 pro

Now if i dont add the DVD writer, it will boot to xp with no issues.

Have you updated the BIOS on the motherboard? Can you flash the drive to it's latest firmware on another computer? Is the drive set to Cable Select with Jumpers?

Bios is updated with the latest one, I cant even get XP to load, can you flash the firmware outside of windows, and the jumper is at Master.
