Do you have the jumpers on the back of the new hard drive set up for slave as well? |

Yeah, sounds like you need to set the jumpers on the CD/DVD and new HD both to CS or to the proper master/slave setup.

cable select on both = NO work
Master DVD-RW and SLAVE HDD = NO work Master HDD and SLAVE DVD-RW = working but case open and cant close it Why would and old HDD work being slave and a newer one not? |

The cable layout has nothing to do with master/slave designations, unless your actually using a cable-select cable. It sounds like the drives are jumpered wrong.

yup sounds like you have a dell i knew it......... you need to go into the bios and setup both drives. but it on auto. it will identify the drives as long as you have the jumpers right. from the box the jumper was correct.

Buy a new longer cable for $4.99, make them both master, one on each channel.

Depends on the BIOS. In better news though, you can get significantly longer IDE cables. IM if you need some sources. |

You using a standard old style cable or the newer 66/100 style (with the blue/black connectors)?

New style (ATA 80 cable)
I am positive the jumpers are correct, besides if it was CS then it wouldnt matter would it. Using Master and Slave jumpers on the devices, NOT cable select: When I go into the BIOS it does not recognise the HDD or DVD when HDD is Master and DVD is slave (it says UNKNOWN PATA-0 and UNKNOWN PATA-1), but when HDD is master and DVD slave everyting is fine. BTW I cant have 2 IDE ribbon cables, my mainboard only has one slot, the rest are SATA. |

So get one longer IDE cable, thne set your HDD to Master, your DVD to slave. |

+1 NEVER USE CABLE SELECT. Get a longer cable if the cable you have is to short, better yet get 2 cables and put the drives on different IDE channels. If cable select jumpers are set for either drive remove them. Then make the hard drive the master and the DVD writer the slave. The hard drive should be the master… things are more likely to work better that way and making the DVD writer the master could possibly slow down the hard drive. On some computers the IDE devices on one channel will work at IDE speed/mode of the slowest drive if that drive it is set as master. The better solution is to put the DVD writer on the secondary IDE channel. |

if your jumpers and cableing are correct. check with the manufacturer of the drive and dvd drive. there may be an incompatibility with the controllers on one of those devices. it doesn't happen often but i have seen it in the past. Occasionally there is a firmware flash for the drive to correct such problems.
Does the bios see the drive properly if set as a master and placed on the bus by itself? if not you may need a bios upgrade as well, your current bios may not support 120gb drives |

As long as the jumpers are set to master and slave, the drive's position on the cable does not matter.

It will if cable select is also selected on the drives. |

well its working now (new cable) but only if the HDD is master and DVD is slave, very odd if you ask me.
Thanks guys! |

Not really. Some (early, shoddy) BIOS require the removable media to be on the secondary chain as a slave. In other news, I'm kind of shocked nobody suggested getting a couple ATA->SATA converters for $10 each and forgoing the whole problem. Put the hard drives on SATA and leave the burner on ATA and away you go. |

Cause it's 20 dollars cheaper to fix it properly? |

My old 60gig worked fine, but the new 120 gig freaks out. |

The proper solution would have been to buy the new hard drive as SATA. I guess your "solution" passes for Canadian values of proper. |

I think he wanted as little expense as possible. The cable was the least expensive solution. It's just too bad it's a proprietary Dell with only one EIDE slot, or he could run both hard drives cheaply. That's why I always roll my own. You can upgrade with industry standard parts. A standard quality motherboard will almost always have TWO IDE slots. And these days, at least 2 or 4 SATA channels as well. Oh well we all have to work with what we have. |
