I have just bought a new DVD rom to play DVDs on my PC, however once I had connected it up (i.e. plugged in the IDE cables) it wasn't recognised. Worse still the CD re writer that was previously working didn't show either.

I unplugged the IDE cable and connected it only to the DVD rom, and it worked fine, the CD Rom also worked fine when connected by itself.

It appears there is some sort of conflict between them, any ideas why this may be???

Thanks in advance for your help
