My motherboard does' nt find my cdrw unless I disconnect it for a second and then reconnected it. But again when I shut down the computer and restarted it , it wont recognize it. Any idea what would be the problem.

It is on the same eidi and it is jumper as a slave, and my hard drive is jumper as master.

Welcome to TSF:

Your cd-rom drive should not be on the same cable as your primary hard drive

your cd-rom drive should be on the secondary mobo connector jumpered as master if its the only drive on the secondary ide controller or jumpered as slave if there is already a device on the secondary controller ?????
