Yes, sure, I'd set the CD to slave mode though the jumper. As I said, the
BIOS also detected it accordingly.

Did you check the jumper opn the cdrom. They can be jumpered as Master,
Slave Or Cable Select.  My guess is your new drive is set to Master.  This
explains why it works on an IDE channel by itself but not when sharing a
channel with other device (your main HD will always be Master)

  The new CD drive was Samsung 52x. I connected this CD drive in place of
the old one - slave with master HDD on IDE1. Now this CD drive is detected
alright by the BIOS but doesn't come up in Windows 98 - its as if its not
there.

  Now I connect the CD-drive to a separate IDE cable (IDE2) and its fine.
