    Lite-On DVD-ROM (Internal) Installation WEIRDNESS

    UPDATE: I opened up the audio box to check the jumper config. The Plextor was set to Master & the Lite-On was set to Cable Select (was wrong initially). I changed the Plextor to 'Cable Select' (to match the Lite-On)...but that didn't make any difference. mf

    Lite-On DVD-ROM (Internal) Installation WEIRDNESS

    hello again... Last night I installed a Lite-On DVD-ROM Drive in one of the 5-1/4" bays on my recording studio's audio workstation (an ADK Core2). My ribbon cable wasn't long enough (they never are), so I went to Micro Center for a cable upgrade. I already had a Plextor Premium CD-RW...

    New Machine...Swapped Boot Drives...I think my Jumper's OK (???)

    protias & unhappy_mage... I looked at the Plexwriter's manaul; & they (Plextor) suggest leaving it at 'Master'. But...it's almost 3 years old; & I wasn't sure what to do. The new box could have the new cable type (80 wire, I believe?)...which normally requires 'Cable Select' (?) You guys...
