Some devices are fussy about master/slave configuration. Which
is the master, the CD burner or the DVD? On my PC running 98/2000, I have the burner
as master and the DVD as slave, and I've never had a hardware conflict. You could
try swapping the two around and resetting jumpers accordingly. At worst it won't
work. :)
Failing that, try reinstalling the CD burner and DVD software. Failing that,
I'm out of ideas.
But OR's definitely wrong. Plus it isn't recommended to put a hard drive and a CD
or DVD on the same IDE channel; you've got that part exactly right.
