I discovered that when I tried to connect the ribbon cable between the DVD
and HDD. I solved that problem by moving the DVD to the lowest wide bay and
moving the CD-RW up to the top.

I've read some commentary that recommends connecting the DVD drive and HHD
on the primary. They suggest connecting the DVD on the CD-RW cable will
slow down writing.
