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.
