In the most common scenario, the jumpers were not set proper. Many machines require both drives set to CS, others will want one drive master, the other slave. I won't be able to tell what yours will be.

I installed a cd/rw drive and when I plug the cable into the cdrom drive, neither drives work. I unplug the cable from the cd rom drive and the cd rom works.
I know that this is probably a simple solution, but I don't know it.
I appreciate the help that cnet has given me through the years and in the years to come.
Thanks
