Dana:

I suggest that you can try installing the 2nd CD as Master (or slave) into
the secondary IDE controller.

Remember that you must have a Master device (at least) in any controller if
you want to connect a 2nd device.

| I've been trying to install a second CD-ROM to my 1.4GHz Athlon system.
My
| existing  CD-RW is recognized as Master on the IDE2 controller but if I
try
| connecting the second drive, an older 6X, as slave Windows fails to
| recognize either CD.  Both CDs are recognized during bootup by the bios.
| When I enter the bios setup both CDs are listed.  One as Master and the
| other as Slave but after completing bootup neither one shows in My
Computer
| and in the System Device Manager I have an error in the Secondary IDE
| controller that says the controller is either not working or the driver is
| not installed.  I tried reinstalling the driver but I get the message that
| the best driver is already installed.  I've tried all combinations of
jumper
| pin placement on the 6X but none seem to solve the problem.  I'm stumped.
