[RLUG] Re: DVD Burner

[jennifertf at excite.com]

Thank you all for your replies.  I really don't know an IDE from an ATA from an EIEIO.  I do know that there's one connector coming out from my motherboard with ribbon cables going in both directions -- one direction goes to the hard drive, the other to the optical drives in a master/slave configuration (don't ask me which is which).

The new DVD burner replaces a CD reader, so there are two optical drives in place of two optical drives.  I tried plugging them in one way and then the other (swapping the connectors) and it won't work either way.

The other optical drive is a lite-on LTR-16101B.

Sometimes I think I have the Murphy's Law of computers.

Can anyone help?

Jennifer
