Have 2 dvd drives hooked up through 1 ide cable, the jumpers are set correctly for slave and master.
What happens is the top cd rom drive hardly ever recognizes any dvd/cd that you put in it most of the time it does not work at all.
The bottom one will work if you put something in it right away but if you wait a few minutes it will not work.
If you have only the top one without the bottom, does the same thing it will not work.
IF you disconnect the master and leave only the slave drive connected on the bottom and boot windows it seems like the stand alone drive works ok.
Ok, so I got 2 completely new dvd burner drives and hooked them up and they are doing exactly the same thing.
I have tried another IDE cable too, to me this does not sound like a windows issue at all so I figure the issue is with the IDE controller on the motherboard, anyone agree?
