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.

drive or something else on the same channel.


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.
