Question about 'Resolving Hardware Conflicts'

I have a question about Resolving Hardware Conflicts:

I'm running XP Professional at SP1 and have just replaced a u/s cd-rom burner with a new one. I also have a dvd-rom. Both these devices are on the secondary IDE cable, with master/slave set accordingly. The primary IDE has my 2 hard drives on it. The BIOS confirms all the above, but XP seems unable to detect both readers in safe mode and hangs whenever I boot up normally. Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong.
