I have just installed a lite-on 48-24-16 CD-RW (internal) drive. I already have a dvd rom drive. I have set the jumper settings to Master on the CD-RW & slave on the DVD rom and double checked all cables, which are connected to IDE 2, and they seem fine.

However, when I start the PC it stops on the very first screen, which details the Motherboard (KT7 Turbo-R) and then eventually goes into a second screen and advises me that there is a 'boot disk error' & to insert the system disk.

I've inserted the system disk but then it just went onto a black screen with A:\.

HELP, what is going on and how do I get it to accept the new configuration?????

Thanx

Many thanx for your reply, Bob.

I double checked which cables were running to which IDE & can confirm that IDE1 is only connected to my HDD, of which there is only one, & that IDE2 is currently only connected to my new CD-RW drive, as it is when I connect both DVD & CD-RW drives to the cable on IDE2 that the trouble starts. Unfortunately, I cannot connect the 2nd connection on the HDD cable to one of the CD ROM drives, as it won't reach!

Any further ideas would be very much appreciated.
